FOREWORD 
 
 It was thought that this was an opportune time, on the eve of Cornell Uni- 
 versity's Semi-Centennial, to publish a book, giving a history of the University, 
 and also showing what Cornellians have accomplished in the world. 
 
 The plan and scope of this work includes a brief history of the University; 
 an announcement of the coming celebration and grand reunion; biographies 
 of the founder, presidents and acting presidents; a list of distinguished pro- 
 fessors (other than Comellians who will be found later in the alumni list, herein), 
 giving their chairs, and years of service at Cornell, and any other important 
 position held, or work done by them either before coming to, or after leaving, 
 Cornell; biographies of distinguished alumni, arranged first by classes, com- 
 mencing with that of '69, and then, for a cross-reference, by public offices, po- 
 sitions, professions and occupations (though this arrangement may be reversed) ; 
 followed by an alphabetical index. 
 
 The basis of representation in this work is the ability to appear in published 
 books of biography of distinguished Americans. 
 
 There are also included a few who deserve recognition but have been over- 
 looked. A few have been chosen because of their special interest to Cornellians. 
 There are but few names from recent classes, say those of the past ten or fifteen 
 years. 
 
 It is regretted that the names of all the alumni can not appear, but, as they 
 number 27,000, it is not possible in a book of such limited space. 
 
 This book is of Cornell and Cornellians, for Cornellians primarily, by a Cor- 
 nellian, and may also appeal to the general reading public. It seemed pre- 
 sumptuous for the author to write even a brief history of Cornell University, 
 after reading Professor W. T. Hewitt's valuable and comprehensive "History" 
 in three large volumes, and the valuable contribution to University history 
 found in President White's fine literary production, "An Autobiography," and 
 Alonzo B. Cornell's history (data for the future historian he calls it) of his father, 
 Ezra Cornell, the founder. 
 
 The author felt some timidity in approaching the subject, particularly the 
 literary side, and stated his fears to President White. "Oh," said he, "sail right 
 in, and give your ideas in your own way, only don't use big words unless it be 
 necessary." So, here we sail, and, if we lose compass, rudder, sails and all, yet 
 will.we cling to the good old ship "Cornell" till we get through. 
 
 As the only graduate in a regular undergraduate course to undertake such 
 a work, we may see Cornell affairs from a different view-point than the other 
 writers, and we will try to give our impressions as briefly and tersely as possible, 
 only we feel put upon our mettle, to think that a layman undertakes the work, 
 when there are so many brilliant literary and historical writers at the University 
 to undertake it but they don't. 
 
x DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 The author hopes that he will be pardoned if at times he appears to use 
 large or flowery language, for he can not bring himself to speak in commonplace 
 terms of the great University and its makers and teachers. 
 
 With these few remarks, we close, hoping that the verdict of the readers 
 will not be against the University for anything that author has either said or 
 omitted. Reader, be charitable. "Criticism is easy, art is difficult."

 GREETINGS FROM PRESIDENT SCHURMAN 
 
 To Graduates and Former Students of Cornell University: 
 
 Mr. Murray Poole informs me that, as a sort of contribution to the coming 
 Semi-Centennial of the Foundation of the University, he is publishing a partial 
 list of Cornellians, with a classification of the vocations they have followed, 
 and notes of the distinctions they have achieved. 
 
 In response to Mr. Poole' s request, I gladly avail myself of this opportunity 
 to send friendly greetings to the men and women who have been enrolled in 
 Cornell University during the past forty-seven years of its existence. From 
 the studies they pursued here, and the associations they formed, I am confident 
 they have gained a larger and more intelligent outlook on the world, a deeper 
 inspiration for their work, and enhanced ability to perform it, while the friend- 
 ships they made in those student days have been among the most precious pos- 
 sessions of their lives. 
 
 The members of this great family will appreciate and be grateful for the nurture 
 they have received from their Alma Mater. And now that she is to celebrate 
 in 1918 the close of the first half-century of her existence, they will desire to 
 express their sentiments in such varied manner as each may deem appropriate. 
 I make no suggestions as to the manner in which Cornellians may best express 
 their feelings on this interesting and historical occasion. But I do take this 
 opportunity of expressing the hope that all who find it practicable will revisit 
 these scenes in October, 1918, and once more see their Alma Mater face to face.

 GREETINGS FROM MRS. GERTRUDE SHORE MARTIN 
 ADVISER OF WOMEN 
 
 Ithaca, N. Y., February 28, 1916. 
 To Fellow Alumnae and Former Women Students: 
 
 Mr. Poole has asked me, in connection with his forthcoming History of the 
 University, to extend to you a special greeting in addition to the cordial words 
 of greeting and invitation already addressed to you and your fellow alumni 
 by President Schurman. Does the fact that it should be thought requisite, 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xi 
 
 or at least desirable, that a special word should be addressed to the alumnae 
 imply a lingering sense of our separateness from the rest of the University ? 
 I have an uneasy suspicion that it does; that we who regard ourselves so con- 
 fidently as true daughters of Alma Mater are still looked upon by some members 
 of the family as changelings, slipped into the cradle by stealth, and to be ad- 
 mitted to full membership, if at all, only after prolonged scrutiny, and then not 
 by right but by an act of grace. 
 
 Sed tempora mutantur. Last night I was reading in the current number of 
 the Alumni News extracts from letters written by Goldwin Smith in the very 
 early days of the University. "I believe," he wrote, "I have also done something 
 towards averting, for the present, female students, a crotchet of Horace Greeley, 
 who was driving us in that direction apace." That was written a trifle less than 
 fifty years ago by one of the most scholarly and liberal minded men of his time. 
 Since then co-education has become in this country the prevalent form of higher 
 education for women. Out of the thousands of young women now pursuing 
 their studies in institutions of higher learning, it is a constantly dwindling mi- 
 nority that find themselves in separate institutions for women. Horace Greeley's 
 crotchet has gotten itself accepted as a normal social arrangement. 
 
 How bold a step it was that Cornell University took in admitting women 
 almost from the beginning to equal privileges with men only those can know 
 who have read the utterances of the period on the subject of co-education. The 
 fact that this new institution, struggling for a foothold among the old and con- 
 servative institutions of the East, nevertheless had the courage to adopt so 
 radical a policy, must always give it a special claim upon the affection and the 
 loyalty of its women. With the approach of the semi-centennial celebration 
 will come the opportunity for expression of that loyalty. I am confident that 
 in the chorus of gratitude to Alma Mater that will be called forth by that occa- 
 sion the feminine note will not be lacking. 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 GERTRUDE S. MARTIN. 
 
 CORNELL UNIVERSITY : A STORY HISTORICAL 
 
 THE FOUNDING AND EARLY DATS 
 
 Sons and daughters of fair Cornell, 
 Here's to her we love so well! 
 
 There is an old saying: 
 
 "Great oaks from little acorns grow." 
 There is another: 
 
 "There were giants in those days." 
 
 When we remember that only about fifty years ago, in the small inland 
 town of Ithaca, on a barren hill-side farm, there was founded an institution 
 of learning which has become one of the greatest in the world, we can liken it 
 only to a modern instance of "Aladdin and his wonderful lamp." Ezra Cornell 
 
xii DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 could bring the young dreamer and afterwards great executive, Andrew D. 
 White, and the latter could wave the magic wand of scholarship and bring a 
 faculty of the most noted educators. The founder sank beside him, but he 
 kept bravely on. 
 
 The one has left an imperishable name. 
 
 The other will be awarded a high niche in the Hall of Fame. 
 
 It is not our purpose to tell in detail the early struggles and calumny under 
 which they labored, but only to strew roses in the way, as we approach the 
 Golden Age of Cornell. 
 
 There was a beginning, of course. The magnetic telegraph flashed the money 
 to the founder, and the kindly fates brought him face to face with the man who 
 could point the way for both to become great benefactors of the human race. 
 
 Our Alma Mater owes its material existence to the combined bounty of Ezra 
 Cornell and the State of New York. 
 
 It was chartered in 1865, and opened its doors to students in 1868. President 
 White wished the infant university located in his home city, but Ezra Cornell 
 chose, more wisely, his beloved Ithaca, where, 
 
 "Far above Cayuga's waters, 
 
 With its waves of blue, 
 Stands our noble Alma Mater, 
 Glorious to view."

 on the most sightly and beautiful campus in the world. 
 
 No author has ever yet been able adequately to describe, or poet sing, or 
 artist paint, the beautiful scene from its towers, with the quiet lake at the north, 
 the busy city at the west, and the lovely vale lying to the south, with great 
 gorges within the bounds of its campus, and down in their depths grand and 
 beautiful falls, where dwells, according to Indian legend, "The Spirit of the Fall." 
 
 The 7th day of October, A.D. 1868, one of the most glorious in the history 
 of Cornell, was set apart for the formal public exercises, when its doors were 
 flung wide open to the student world. There were speeches by many distin- 
 guished orators. 
 
 There were at the opening nineteen professors, four assistant professors, 
 and eight non-resident professors. The last named were a university all by 
 themselves. 
 
 Three hundred students applied for admission, some of them from other 
 colleges. Those early students were among the founders of the University. 
 
 They came to find Cornell University, as did the seekers after the "Golden 
 Fleece," or Ponce De Leon after the "Fountain of Youth.'* They thought that 
 they could study and work their way through and many of them did. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xm 
 
 The other colleges regarded it as an * 'Experiment," but they were judging 
 the outward rather than the inner man, for they had earnest minds and were 
 diligent students, and willing workers. They met on a democratic equality. 
 The younger members of the faculty received very small salaries but worked 
 hard to make a professional reputation as teachers, to build up the new insti- 
 tution and to start the young men right upon their way. However, they were 
 strangers to each other and it was many years before they could do good "Team- 
 work." 
 
 A baseball club was organized in the intervals between classes on the first 
 day of recitations. 
 
 A "navy" was organized by men who knew little more about rowing than 
 those who joined with them. 
 
 A glee club was organized and commenced to sing the ever famous Alma 
 Mater. 
 
 The Era literary magazine was started and is now one of the oldest of college 
 publications. 
 
 A gymnasium was opened by student subscriptions. New buildings were 
 erected by the trustees without any visible means of paying for the same. 
 
 Differences arose between the faculty and trustees, but both worked away 
 with a will. The alumni and trustees also had some bickerings, but not very 
 serious. 
 
 Then the religious colleges lambasted Cornell unceasingly. 
 
 The loss of the Fiske millions was keenly felt but was compensated for by 
 the generosity of Henry W. Sage. However, the new institution prospered, 
 to the great joy of its friends, and the confusion of its enemies. 
 
 The new university started lif e without prestige, relying for success entirely 
 upon its own merits. 
 
 The students were allowed great liberty in the choice of studies, and a very 
 large measure of personal liberty they were put upon their honor as gentlemen. 
 
 The people of Ithaca, unlike the citizens of most college towns, gave the 
 welcome hand to the new students, and this neighborly feeling has continued 
 to the present day. 
 
 A majority of the students roomed down town, and, as Cornell was a semi- 
 military college, they wore their military uniforms all the time. 
 
 As several of the entering students had taken advanced standing, the next 
 year, 1869, witnessed the first commencement, when eight graduates received 
 their diplomas. 
 
 Women students first entered the University in 1871, and the first class to 
 graduate women was that of 1873, when three of them were awarded diplomas.

 That I thy praises loud might tell,

 THE FOUNDER 
 
 "Bountiful heart! bountiful hand! 
 Bountiful heart and hand!" 
 
 F. M. FINCH. 
 
 Our noble founder, Ezra Cornell, was of New England Quaker ancestry. 
 His parents were poor, and he had to make his own way in the world. By his 
 native genius, and hard work, he acquired great wealth from his connection 
 with the Morse telegraph interests. He had long cherished the project of found- 
 ing a University, where the youth of the land could obtain a better education 
 than he had received in his own boyhood. 
 
 He expressed his ideas in his own happily-chosen words: 
 
 "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any 
 study." This became the motto of the new university. 
 
 He became a senator of the State of New York, in 1864. Andrew D. White 
 was a colleague and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education. 
 
 In him our future founder found a sympathetic listener, and from that time 
 forward they held many conferences. Ezra Cornell proposed the material side 
 and Andrew D. White the soul of a bill to charter the new university, and, after 
 it was drafted by Charles J. Folger, chairman of the Judiciary Committee of 
 the Senate, it was submitted to the Legislature. 
 
 That body was hostile to the new project, the only opposition coming from 
 The Peoples College, at Havana, N. Y., some other feeble colleges, and from 
 denominational colleges, that regarded the proposed non-sectarian university 
 as "Godless." They wanted some of the U. S. Land Grants apportioned to 
 the State of New York, all of which the new university was to receive. The 
 bill finally passed. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xv 
 
 After the granting of the charter in 1865, there came the immense work of 
 organization, and building, the choosing of a president and faculty, and pre- 
 paring a curriculum of study. The new university then started upon its course. 
 
 Ezra Cornell was asked to become a candidate, because of his great services 
 to the cause of education and agriculture, for Govenor of the State. 
 
 Ezra Cornell pinned his faith to the Common People. He was especially 
 interested in the education of poor young men, and wanted them to have an 
 industrial education to help themselves in the world. He believed also in the 
 higher education. 
 
 His first large gift was the Cornell Library to his loved Ithaca and then, 
 came the greater gift of the University. Some of his ideas about education, and 
 especially about the self-support of students, while getting an education, were 
 impracticable, and had to be greatly modified, or altered. 
 
 He was a Hicksite Quaker, but broad in his religious views. If old Diogenes, 
 with a lighted lantern in the day-time, had come around to find an honest man, 
 he would have found him in the person of Ezra Cornell. 
 
 He was one of the greatest of Americans in that he had a broad and liberal 
 mind, and a charity for other men's opinions. 
 
 He lived in the early years, when he was poor, at "The Nook," the little 
 gothic house near the present Percy Field. After becoming more prosperous 
 he made his home at Forest Park, Stewart and South Avenues, near the Campus. 
 Then he removed to an old brick mansion "Down Town," where the Ithaca 
 Savings Bank building now stands. 
 
 Finally, he built, but did not live to occupy and enjoy, the splendid Elizabethan 
 mansion on University Hill, over the portal of which were chiseled the words: 
 "True and Firm." He died December 9th, 1874, at Ithaca, N. Y. 
 
 "From Slander's driving sleet, 
 From Envoy's pitiless rain, 
 At rest, the aching feet! 
 At rest, the weary brain. 
 
 So calm, and grave, and still, 
 Men thought his silence, pride: 
 Nor guessed the truth, until 
 Death told it as he died." 
 
 F. M. FINCH. 
 
 Cornell is now among the angels looking down, 
 But his spirit marches on.

 THE FIRST PRESIDENT 
 
 "If you ask whence comes our candidate, my answer shall be: from Ap- 
 pomatox, and its famous apple-tree." ROSCOE CONKLING. 
 
 If you ask whence came our great first President, the answer shall be: the 
 words of a friend in introducing him to Prince Bismarck: 
 
 "Born at Homer; reared at Syracuse; President of a college at Ithaca." 
 
 Andrew Dickson White was born to great wealth, and might have attained 
 the highest political honors, had he cared to enter practical politics. 
 
 It was mostly owing to his great political sagacity that he steered the frail 
 craft, with the Charter-Bill aboard, between the dangerous rocks of Scylla and 
 Charybdis safe to its haven's pier. 
 
 He was elected to the New York State Senate, and there met Ezra Cornell, 
 who was to exert so powerful an influence upon his subsequent career. The 
 friendship thus formed ended only with the life of the founder. The result of 
 their meeting the man of wealth, and the educator was the founding of 
 Cornell University. 
 
 In every plan to that end Andrew D. White took a masterful part. The 
 comprehensive and progressive plans which they then prepared have been 
 literally carried out to the present day. 
 
 At the first meeting of the Board of Trustees, he was unanimously chosen 
 the President of Cornell University. He remained in the office twenty years, 
 1866-1885, when he resigned. However, he continues as trustee and valued 
 adviser, and constant benefactor and friend of the alumni. 
 
 His early experiences at Albany in combating intrigue, lying and graft, dis- 
 gusted him and he preferred to don the academic robes, and was later rewarded 
 politically on his merits. He was of New England ancestry and Revolutionary 
 stock. 
 
 He graduated in Yale's famous class of '53, and afterwards studied abroad. 
 
 Early in his college career he began to see visions; the narrow, stone walls 
 of Hobart College, where he commenced, expanded into marble halls. At Yale 
 where he attended later, he built castles-in-Spain and saw the Alhambra trans- 
 formed into a great palace of learning. 
 
 At Oxford and Cambridge his dreams began to take form as he saw the great 
 Bodleian Library, Christ Church and Trinity Halls and the beautiful towers 
 of Magdalen and Merton, and the quadrangles of Jesus and St. John's. 
 
 Afterwards when professor of history at the University of Michigan, he 
 began to talk with friends about the desirability of a great university in the 
 greatest state his own native state New York, where there would be other 
 than the one old-fashioned course in Arts with its Greek and Latin courses 
 that would fit men for the special professions or occupations that they intended 
 to follow in after life. 
 
 As one of the creators of the university of universities, he, with Ezra Cornell, 
 John McGraw, Henry W. Sage, and Hiram Sibley, ranks among the world's 
 great benefactors. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xvn 
 
 As the author of the Warfare of Science, the story of persecution in the Dark 
 Ages of superstition and religious intolerance, he proved himself to be a great 
 investigator, a profound historical scholar, and a seeker and teller of the truth, 
 a work which ranks him with the world's great historians and benefactors. As 
 a diplomat he rendered valuable services to his country abroad. As a benefac- 
 tor of Cornell financially, and as one of the moving causes for others to give, 
 he has rendered inestimable services to the University which were given gratu- 
 itously. Besides he would never take any salary. Finally, as the author of 
 a splendid "Autobiography" he has told the story of the founding of Cornell, 
 and its early history, in a beautiful way, which no one else can more than 
 imitate, for he is not only capable of doing great things in a great way, but 
 he was one of the principal actors in the stirring events which he describes. 
 
 President White was always interested in history, especially American his- 
 tory, and, by his advice, Cornell was the first University in this country to have 
 a chair of American History. 
 
 He made a great study of methods of teaching, both in his own country and 
 abroad, and the result was embodied in the system of education adopted at 
 Cornell. 
 
 He recognized the importance of, and incorporated in the Cornell system 
 of education, industrial training. He thinks Latin of more value to the student 
 than Greek. 
 
 He has always been a friend of the secondary schools of the State. Freedom 
 of choice of studies has always been a leading feature of education with him, 
 and at Cornell. 
 
 While serving as Minister and Ambassador his home was ever a center of 
 hospitality, where could be met not only the greatest diplomats and statesmen, 
 but also great scholars, artists and writers. 
 
 He has made many valuable gifts, from time to time, from his own large 
 private means; built the Presidents House, for the Presidents, when he is through 
 with it; gave his own valuable historical library of 30,000 volumes, valued at 
 more than $100,000; built the artistic entrance gateway, and in many other 
 ways aided the University financially. His example and his high standing as 
 an educator caused many wealthy friends to aid the University. All he seemed 
 to have to say to them were the talismic words "open Sesame" and they helped. 
 
 He was President of the American Delegation to the International Peace 
 Congress at The Hague. 
 
 President White, on the opening day of the University, expected that the 
 founder would not survive the occasion, for he had been ill for a long time and 
 had lain moaning on a bed of pain by night and day. He, himself, was ill and 
 they were both borne upon litters to the place where the exercises were held. 
 He bore up bravely until George William Curtis used the simile of the ship when 
 his heart sank within him and he nearly collapsed such kind words after so 
 much hard work and abuse of himself and the founder by enemies. 
 
xvm DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 He has often said: "The marvellous growth and the success of Cornell Uni- 
 versity have exceeded my fondest anticipations." The high honors which Presi- 
 dent White received abroad were very pleasing to his former students. 
 
 He is honored by Cornellians everywhere. He is one of the greatest of living 
 American diplomatists, statesmen and scholars. 
 
 A bronze statue of President White, by Karl Bitter, the gift of H. R. Ickel- 
 heimer, '88, stands in front of Goldwin Smith Hall in the university quadrangle. 
 
 He now resides on the Cornell Campus, and, although four score and three 
 years of age, retains his mental vigor and good health, and has not yet retired 
 from the active duties of life. What a cloud of memories must rush upon him, 
 and with what satisfaction he must view the work which his hand builded 
 for it might have all miserably failed. 
 
 Other colleges had arisen long enough to have their pictures taken, as it 
 were, and then subsided, and were never heard of again. The wise ones attribute 
 Cornell's success mostly to the inspiring ideas, example, words and deeds of 
 Andrew D. White. That he may long live to enjoy the homage due to him is 
 the ardent wish of every Cornellian. 
 
 THE SECOND PRESIDENT 
 
 Charles Kendall Adams was born January 24, 1835, at Derby, Vt., and was 
 related to the Presidents Adams. He graduated at Michigan University in the 
 class of 1861, where he became Professor of History and Dean of the School of 
 Political Science. He became well known as a scholar and teacher, and upon 
 the resignation of President White, he was chosen President of Cornell Uni- 
 versity in 1885. President Adams showed great executive ability, and the Uni- 
 versity grew in the number of buildings, endowments, professors and students. 
 The Library Building, Barnes, Lincoln, Morse and Boardman Halls and the 
 Gymnasium Annex were built during his administration. He was the author 
 of a "Manual of American Literature," and a "Life of Christopher Columbus," 
 and many magazine articles, and he delivered many public addresses. He was 
 President of the American Historical Association, and a member of many his- 
 torical and other learned societies. His connection with a non-sectarian and 
 State University before he came to Cornell was of great value in preparing him 
 for his new position. He visited Europe several times and carefully studied 
 university methods of teaching there, and was thus enabled to choose the best 
 methods adapted to American education. After serving as President of Cornell 
 for seven years, 1885-92, he resigned. He then became President of the Uni- 
 versity of Wisconsin. Died July 26, 1902, at Redlands, California. 
 
 THE THIRD AND PRESENT PRESIDENT 
 
 "It was the crowded Senate Chamber." 
 
 WEBSTER'S REPLY TO HAYNE. 
 
 When President Jacob Gould Schurman addressed a vast assemblage in 
 Sage Chapel, who listened attentively to every word, on the subject of The 
 Bible, he not only did justice to a great subject, but he demonstrated that the 
 speaker was a great historical student, a close reasoner and a great orator. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xix 
 
 And when, at a great political meeting in Ithaca's Lyceum, he uttered bitter 
 invective against all who should oppose the progressive measures of Governor 
 Charles E. Hughes, he proved that the world had lost one of its greatest jurist- 
 consults when he became one of its foremost educators. 
 
 He possesses splendid qualifications for political leadership, and while he 
 has twice served his country abroad in the field of diplomacy, yet had he cared 
 to he might have attained still higher political honors at the hands of President 
 McKinley, but he declined, feeling that he was consecrated to a Great Work, 
 the upbuilding of Cornell University. 
 
 And he has been very successful, for, under his administration, it has grown 
 marvellously, not only materially and financially, but educationally. While a 
 professor at Cornell, before being called to the administration of affairs, he was 
 considered one of the most promising minds in the field of pure thinking. 
 
 There will always be a warm corner in the hearts of Cornellians for President 
 Schurman. For twenty-four years he has annually delivered a masterly address 
 to the incoming Freshmen class, which made a profound impression and in- 
 fluenced the lives of the young hearers, not only during their college course, 
 but during their whole career. 
 
 He visits the sick, a side of his nature, which may not be known to the general 
 University public. 
 
 He makes it a special point to attend personally as many of the alumni gather- 
 ings as possible, often at great inconvenience to himself, whenever his university 
 duties will allow him to do so, and speaks upon the subject nearest their hearts, 
 their Alma Mater, its present condition, its growth, and its needs with a cordial 
 invitation to revisit the scenes of their college days. 
 
 He helps many of them to high positions. During his administration came 
 about the co-operation of the State of New York, for that great Commonwealth 
 decided to provide for the education of its farmers' sons and daughters, by giving 
 agricultural college buildings to Cornell for their use. 
 
 Whatever success President Schurman has attained in the world he owes to 
 his own brain and his own hard work, without favor or influence, for he was a 
 poor boy and worked his way up, round by round of the ladder till he is at the 
 top. He will be heard from later, well and favorably, politically, if he will allow 
 his name to be used in connection with the Republican nomination for some great 
 political office, or, if he will accept appointive office. 
 
 President Schurman has magnetism that compelling force that induces 
 other men to think as he does and to do the acts which he wishes them to do; 
 in other words he is clear-headed and forceful and persuasive and he is a bad 
 opponent to meet in debate. 
 
 He is physically large, strong and youthful, in strong contrast to President 
 White, who was always somewhat frail, and likely to break down under great 
 strain, while President Schurman takes plenty of out-door exercise, his chief

 President Schurman too, like President White, is called "Prexy," a classic 
 term which means more on undergraduate lips, than the mere presidency of 
 the institution. It carries with it an expression of esteem and admiration for 
 the personality of the man, as well as respect for his official position.

 "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women in it are the actors." 
 
 SHAKESPEARE . 
 
 Professor Hiram Corson lived, worked, walked, talked and wrote in an at- 
 mosphere of Shakespeare. 
 
 His home was the favorite meeting place of lovers of Shakespeare and Brown- 
 ing. 
 
 He was at one time private secretary to Lewis Cass. He was also assistant 
 reporter in the United States Senate and reported some of the speeches of Daniel 
 Webster. 
 
 There was a little one-story cottage that stood opposite his own grand old- 
 fashioned home. He did not like its appearance and once in conversation with 
 the writer said that it "lowered the moral tone." 
 
 He greatly promoted the study of English literature at Cornell. 
 
 His public readings from Shakespeare were literary treats of the highest order. 
 He was the author of many books on English literature. 
 
 He was dignified and picturesque appearing, being tall and slender, and 
 going about clad in a long coat, and pants to match, with a soft felt broad- 
 brimmed hat on his head, wearing glasses, and with hair and beard long, and 
 wearing on his fingers curious antique rings. 
 
 He was the ideal personification of an old-fashioned, college professor, and 
 courteous gentleman. 
 
 He lived for many years in Cascadilla cottage. He died only recently. 
 
 JOHN McGRAw 
 
 At the opening day exercises in Library Hall, John McGraw said to Henry 
 W. Sage: "It is a shame for us to sit here and not do anything, after what those 
 two men have done," referring to Ezra Cornell and Andrew D. White, after 
 they had spoken. 
 
 With him to think was to act, and so he built the McGraw Hall. He in- 
 tended to do more, but left it to his daughter to carry out his wishes. 
 
 His residence in Ithaca enabled him to participate very actively in the councils 
 of the University in the early days and his knowledge of business affairs was of 
 great value.

 He thought very highly of Ezra Cornell, although they differed politically. 
 He had always been interested in industrial education. He gave the Sibley 
 College and founded the Professorship of Practical Mechanics. 
 
 When some particularly mean thing about Ezra Cornell appeared in the 
 newspapers he sat down and wrote out and sent a check for $30,000, as a slight 
 protest. 
 
 This motto appears in Sibley College: 
 
 THERE ARE TWO MOST VALUABLE POSSESSIONS WHICH NO

 It would be impossible to estimate in dollars and cents the value of his great 
 services to the University. Besides his many gifts of buildings, endowments 
 and money, amounting to about $2,000,000, he gave his valuable time and ser- 
 vices, as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for many years. 
 
 He was living in Brooklyn at the time of the founding of the University, 
 but the work at Cornell appealed so strongly to his sympathies that he moved 
 to Ithaca, to be near the institution that he loved so well. 
 
 On his eightieth birthday his Cornell friends presented him with a beautiful 
 silver vase, the workmanship of Tiffany, and addresses of congratulations, both 
 written and spoken. 
 
 He, was in advance of most other thinkers of his time, when he decided to 
 aid women to a higher education. 
 
 He helped greatly by his business acumen in saving the Western lands for 
 higher prices, his opinion in this matter being largely defered to by others. 
 
 "To truth our noblest temple hast thou reared, 
 And one to piety, to womanhood

 The path of Godlike souls; yea, Heaven annoints 
 With aspiration all thy spirit would,

 He was educated at Yale and Columbia Universities. 
 
 He was a general in the Civil War and a distinguished lawyer in New York 
 City.

 He bravely represented the State of New York at the opening services at 
 Cornell, and made a gracious and felicitous speech. 
 
 He was at the time, ex officio, trustee of the University, and was afterwards 
 repeatedly elected to that office. 
 
 He founded the Woodford Prize in Oratory. He was always a welcome 
 guest at Cornell gatherings, and was frequently called upon for speeches, which 
 were always polished and witty. 
 
 He once explained the choosing of the Cornell colors by saying, that the 
 carnelian was for Ezra Cornell, and the white for President White. 
 
 He was always greatly interested in the military training of citizen soldiers 
 at Cornell. 
 
 He was U. S. Minister to Spain at the outbreak of our war with that country. 
 
 Soon after he retired from the Spanish mission he attended a University 
 alumni banquet and was asked to speak. He arose and said "A diplomat should 
 have eyes to see and ears to hear but no tongue to speak." 
 
 He died only recently.

 She was fond of literature and foreign travel. 
 
 She afterwards married Professor Willard Fiske of Cornell. 
 
 She built the beautiful Fiske mansion which stood on the site of an ancient 
 Indian signal fire, overlooking lake and city. She filled it with art objects, ex- 
 pecting that the collection would some day be used by the University. This 
 mansion, though never officially connected with the University, yet always 
 a romantic interest to Cornellians. 
 
 She returned from abroad September 30, 1881, and died a few days later. 
 
 She left by will her residuarv estate to Cornell University, for a library and 
 hospital, but her will was broken. 
 
 However, a friend came forward and built and endowed the library. 
 The tablet at the entrance reads:

 TRIBUTE OF ANDREW D. WHITE. 
 
 Goldwin Smith was born August 23, 1823, at Reading, England. 
 
 After graduating at Oxford University be became Regius Professor of His- 
 tory there. 
 
 In the dark days of our Civil War he championed the Union cause with 
 voice and pen. He afterwards removed to Toronto, Canada. 
 
 He early became interested in Cornell University, and was one of its earliest 
 professors, filling the Chair of English History. His name attracted many new 
 students. He was an elegant classical scholar and a splendid lecturer. His 
 class-room was crowded.

 He gave for the Campus a beautifully carved stone seat on which are 
 chiseled these words: "Above all nations is Humanity." 
 
 He left by will his entire estate, amounting to about $750,000, to the Uni- 
 versity, for an endowment. 
 
 He died June 7th, 1910. 
 
 THE FIRST REGISTRAR 
 
 The first incumbent of this office, the Rev. Dr. William D. Wilson, was greatly 
 beloved. 
 
 He possessed a marvellous memory for he would call by name every student 
 upon entering his office. 
 
 The present popular Registrar introduced the card index system, which 
 greatly simplifies the work of keeping the records. 
 
 The following refers to him, but is not to be taken seriously : 
 
 "Everybody works at Cornell 
 But David Fletcher Hoy. 
 He sits up in Morrill 
 Busts out many a boy.

 The others, luckless youths, are forced to travel. 
 All ready to admit it's easier far, 
 To fool St. Pete than bluff the Registrar."

 CORNELL'S ENVIRONMENT 
 
 At the time of the founding of the University, Ithaca, the seat of the Uni- 
 versity, was a small inland town of about 6,000 people, with but one railroad, 
 and a steamboat line. It is now a flourishing city of 22,000 population, includ- 
 ing students. But it is the beautiful, natural scenery in and near the University 
 Campus that mostly interests CorneUians.

 The "Switzerland of America" is a proper descriptive term to apply to it. 
 
 On the northern border of the original Campus lies the Ithaca Gorge, through 
 which flows Fall Creek, between towering rocky walls. Here are five beautiful 
 falls, the lowest and greatest being Ithaca Fall, having a height of 130 feet. 
 
 The Taughannock Falls, at the north, and only a few miles away, are 213 
 feet high, or 60 feet higher than Niagara Falls. 
 
 Beautiful Enfield Falls and Glen are at the southwest, only a few miles 
 away. The glen is soon to be fitted up with new walks. 
 
 The white Buttermilk Falls are only two miles south. 
 
 The scenic drives about Cornell are among the most beautiful in the world. 
 
 The Cornell Campus is an academic grove, where landscape gardening, in 
 the midst of natural beauty of lake and wooded hill and glen, has reached its 
 perfection. There is inspiration for study in such surroundings. 
 
 A Cornell professor, who is an authority on the subject, says that the winding 
 courses of "Six Mile Creek" and "The Inlet" through the valley south of Ithaca, 
 forms one of the most beautiful sights in the world, and, with the planting of 
 more trees along their banks, the scene would be unsurpassed. 
 
 "Within the valley curves a lake 
 Whose waters bright with sunshine gleam, 
 And like the cadence of a dream, 
 Upon the shore in silver break; 
 And 'gainst a city's restless tide 
 Ripples from dawn to eventide." 
 
 O. W. 
 
 "In a wondrous valley there lies a town, 
 Beneath a towering hill; 
 Lapped by a silvery lake 
 All quiet and sleeping and still; 
 For years it has slept in the valley, 
 And I think it always will."

 THE ALUMNI 
 
 "I am thinking to-night of my old college town, 
 I am dreaming of days that are flown, 
 
 Of the joys and the strifes 
 
 Of my old college life, 
 Ah, those days were the best I have known."

 With what conflicting emotions, of pride, joy and sadness, does the retiring 
 graduate watch the commencenemt parade wending its way along the paths 
 to the place of meeting! 
 
 What Cornellian can ever forget the slow climb of the train up South Hill 
 and that last look ? 
 
 The alumni did not have representation on the Board of Trustees until 1874, 
 and then could only vote in person at the annual meeting of the alumni hi June, 
 at Cornell. Later they were given the privilege of voting by ballot by mail. 
 
 It was thought best at first to choose but one of their number, because the 
 vast possessions of the University required men of mature years and business 
 judgment to manage them. 
 
 There never was a college blessed with more loyal alumni than Cornell. 
 Their sentiments are expressed in the following lines;: 
 
 "The soldier loves his gen'ral's fame, 
 The willow loves the stream, 
 The child will love its mother's name, 
 The dreamer loves his dream; 
 The sailor loves his haven's pier, 
 The shadow loves the dell, 
 The student holds no name so dear, 
 As thy good name, Cornell." 
 
 Refrain: 
 
 "We'll honor thee, Cornell, 
 We'll honor thee, Cornell, 
 
 While breezes blow, 
 
 Or waters flow, 
 We'll honor thee, Cornell." 
 
 G. R. BIRGE, '72. 
 
 At the first University alumni banquet President White was the guest of 
 honor. 
 
 When he arose to speak, the cheering by the old Cornellians, standing, was 
 so great, and the applause so prolonged, that he was slightly embarrasesd, being 
 innocent of the cause of the great ovation, but when he learned the truth he 
 was greatly pleased. 
 
 To illustrate still further this feeling, or sentiment: Wherever President 
 White goes, there the local alumni make it a point to call upon him and pay 
 their respects. While travelling to the Pacific Coast and Mexico, as the guest 
 of Andrew Carnegie, the great iron-master, was greatly surprised, and became 
 more interested in college life, because of this proof of loyalty. However, as 
 they approached the City of Mexico, the host remarked that they were now too 
 far from home to meet any more college men. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xxvn 
 
 They had no more than become settled at the hotel and the news of their 
 arrival noised abroad, when a Cornell visitor was announced. 
 
 "Why," said the surprised President, "what are you doing down here ?" 
 
 "I am building the largest printing plant in the Republic of Mexico," re- 
 plied our Cornellian. 
 
 After all has been said, its students are the university; buildings, apparatus 
 and professors are necessary, but it is the students and what they do that de- 
 cides whether a university shall prosper or fail; they principally build up its 
 prestige, or otherwise, and by that standard does it become known, favorably 
 or unfavorably. 
 
 An alumnus, at a University alumni banquet, said: "I have been a trustee 
 for fifteen years; this morning the President's wife invited us to dinner, and 
 then for the first time, I knew what I was trustee for." 
 
 Another alumnus, at a political meeting, said, "I was a poor boy and at- 
 tended Cornell, but I was too big for the University, or it was too big for me, so 
 I quit." 
 
 Another speaker commented: "A man was not slow, who came into town on 
 a freight train and went out on a flyer." 
 
 In the early days, when a certain Cornell student went home for a vacation, 
 a farmer friend inquired how he was getting along at school; "Oh," said our 
 Cornellian, "the trustees have boarded up the doors and windows of the school- 
 house and the teachers and scholars have gone home." 
 
 Joseph H. Choate says that among the products of America are college 
 graduates. 
 
 A man who graduates at Cornell is conscious that there is no better univer- 
 sity anywhere and that gives him inspiration for work. However, the smaller 
 colleges have strong bodies of alumni behind them. They say that Harvard 
 men are all right in Boston, but that Yale men are good everywhere; that they 
 are good "mixers." Cornellians are good workers everywhere. 
 
 The Cornellian Council has raised a large sum annually among the alumni 
 to help the University in places where no other funds were available. One re- 
 sult has been the building of Founder's Hall, one of the new men's dormitories, 
 at a cost of $100,000. It is making a special effort to raise a large endowment 
 by 1918. 
 
 THE INTERVENING YEARS 
 
 The years from the opening day to the present time have been busy ones 
 at Cornell. President White, after serving for twenty years, resigned, and was 
 succeeded by President Adams, who remained only seven years, when he re- 
 signed, and was succeeded by President Schurman. 
 
xxvm DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 After the first flush of prosperity the number of students began to dwindle, 
 from various causes, until there were only 312 in one term in 1881-2, and it 
 took several years to grow back to the old record; but from that time on the 
 number increased steadily until we now have entering classes of more than one 
 thousand students. 
 
 Although Cornell is one of the richest of universities, yet its great handicap 
 has always been lack of money. 
 
 There are at Cornell so many different departments of education, and so 
 many courses of study, that it requires extra buildings, equipment and professors. 
 
 Cornell has realized in all over $5,000,000 from the sale of its Western lands, 
 and has besides received large gifts of buildings and money, but needs more. 
 
 The requirements for admission have been raised from time to time, and 
 that has kept the number of students down to her resources to provide for them. 
 
 Several brilliant young professors left Cornell in the early days because they 
 were offered larger salaries by other universities. 
 
 The following lines show the state of affairs: 
 
 "We see new buildings day by day 
 In beauty skyward rising, 
 And our professors haste away 
 In manner most surprising 
 To other chairs, with higher pay, 
 Than here they're realizing. 
 
 The lack of funds affects us sore 
 Although of buildings most a score 
 We are the proud possessors, 
 Yet we at least must need profess 
 We likewise need professors. 
 
 But our trustees most decently 
 Have risen to the occasion 
 And recommend recently 
 An all-round salary-raising. 
 
 Not slow to see the fallacy 
 They're just as quick to stop it; 
 This most short-sighted policy, 
 We're glad they mean to drop it. 
 
 We need the buildings badly, 
 And welcome them most gladly 
 Then pause and ponder sadly 
 That building buildings without Profs, 
 Is building without profit."

 The "Dark Days" financially for Cornell were the seven years from 1873 to 
 1880. 
 
 In recent years many professors, especially in engineering and architecture, 
 have left Cornell to engage in private business, tempted by higher salaries, and 
 a chance to make more money as principals, and to take an active part in the 
 affairs of the world outside of college walls. 
 
 There have been many grave problems to solve, particularly how to keep 
 down the financial deficit, which formerly appeared almost annually. The 
 story is told in the following lines: 
 
 "I am musing, softly musing, in my quiet little den, 
 Erecting airy castles and comparing Now with Then, 
 The Then of bitter struggle, with every omen ill, 
 When Andrew D. was Prexy and Cornell was Cascadill; 
 And I smile and idly wonder what those old boys would say 
 Of what we call the problems we are up against to-day." 
 
 "For though our yearly income is millions, more or less, 
 Something more than J. P. Morgan makes on rainy days, I guess, 
 The Trustees and the Faculty are ever in despair 
 To see their fondest projects dissolving into air; 
 And Prexy frets and worries till his heart is sad and sore 
 To hear the hungry 'Lupus' come a-scratching at the door." 
 
 "I am musing on the changes that thirty years have brought, 
 And the reverential lessons those changes should have taught; 
 For the things we call essentials, to those old boys would seem 
 The evanescent fancies of a dreamer's idle dream; 
 Yet the seeds by them were planted, and by others tended well, 
 Till now the fruit has ripened in our glorious Cornell." 
 
 F. A. N. 
 
 THE QUARTER CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION 
 
 In 1893, the exact dates were October 6th, 7th, and 8th, there was a large 
 "Home-Coming" of students and other friends of Cornell for a quiet celebration 
 of the 25th anniversary of its opening. The orator of the occasion, Chauncey 
 M. Depew, paid a glorious tribute to the noble character of Ezra Cornell, and 
 complimented the University on its grand success. There were over 1,700 stu- 
 dents then in regular attendance. 
 
 To one then present, whose memory could compare that day with the past, 
 the contrast was startling. The valley was as beautiful in the past as at this 
 time, but the hills, four hundred feet above it, that now forms the Campus, 
 were bleak and uninviting. Now, the rough hills and fields with their architec- 
 turally poor buildings, had become a beautiful park, bounded by beautiful glens, 
 with great elms shadowing the lawns, decorated with beds of flowers, and screened 
 by fine shrubbery, with many pleasant walks and drives. To use a commercial

 term the "Advance Agent of Prosperity" had arrived at Cornell and forever 
 since he has dwelt with us, as shown by the great buildings and growing endow- 
 ments. 
 
 CO-EDUCATION 
 
 Co-education at Cornell has been weighed and not found wanting. 
 
 Mrs. Stanford said that her husband founded Leland Stanford, Jr. Univer- 
 sity primarily as a college for men, and that not more than one-third of its stu- 
 dents should be women. 
 
 Syracuse University has 300 more women than men students. 
 
 The proportion of women to men students at Cornell will probably never 
 be any greater than at present, because of the large number of technical courses 
 like engineering, almost exclusively for men; and also, the veterinary course, 
 and the agricultural courses, except in the department of Home Economics. 
 
 Women have no cause to complain of the accommodations provided for 
 them at Cornell, for almost from the beginning they had Sage College and now 
 Prudence Risley Hall, two of the finest women's dormitories in the country, 
 while the men had no college dormitories, except the old, badly arranged Cas- 
 cadilla Building, and for a few years, Morrill and White Halls; though, of course, 
 the men, or some of the most fortunate financially, had fraternity lodges, but 
 they were maintained by private enterprise and capital. 
 
 Presidents White, Adams and Schurman were ever staunch advocates of 
 co-education. 
 
 There was bitter opposition, among the alumni and undergraduates, in the 
 early days, to co-education. This opposition was due to many causes, though 
 no one could furnish a satisfactory "Bill of Particulars/' 
 
 However, the girls were welcome, and they exercised a refining influence 
 over the men in class room and elsewhere. Besides their scholarship was very 
 high, in fact averaged higher than the men a fact which was very gratifying 
 not only to themselves personally, but to their teachers and the other friends 
 of co-education, and that made them all the more welcome. 
 
 Moreover, co-education has come to stay at Cornell, and everybody might 
 as well look and act pleasant about it. 
 
 President William R. Harper of Chicago University, devised the method of 
 segregation to stop the girls from the West from going to the Eastern women's 
 colleges. 
 
 "I want to have girls educated in the university as well as boys, so that they 
 may have the same opportunity to become wise and useful to society that the 
 boys have."

 "As to the question of sex, I have little doubt that within a few years the 
 experiment desired will be tried in some of our largest universities. There are 
 many reasons for expecting its success. * * * * 
 
 Speaking entirely for myself, I would say that I am perfectly willing to under- 
 take the experiment as soon as it shall be possible to do so, but no fair-minded 
 man or woman can ask us to undertake it now, as it is with the utmost difficulty 
 that we are ready to receive young men. * * * * 
 
 I trust the time will soon come when we can do more." 
 
 FROM PRESIDENT WHITE'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 
 
 "When you are ready to carry out the idea of educating young women as 
 thoroughly as young men, I will provide the endowment to enable you to do so." 
 
 HENRY W. SAGE. 
 
 In the meantime one solitary woman student, Miss Emma Sheffield Eastman, 
 who had attended lectures in the University, was formally admitted, consti- 
 tuting the first female student, although Mrs. Jennie Spencer had presented 
 herself as early as September, 1870, with a certificate entitling her to a State 
 scholarship, and passed with credit the additional examinations required. 
 
 Henry W. Sage built and endowed the Sage College for a house for women 
 students. The corner-stone of this structure was laid March 15, 1873. 
 
 "I lay this corner-stone, in faith 
 That structure fair and good 
 Shall from it rise, and thenceforth come 
 True Christian womanhood." 
 
 MRS. HENRY W. SAGE. 
 
 The college was formally opened for the admission of women at the opening 
 of the faU term, of 1874. 
 
 The proportion of women students during the first years of the University 
 was about one-tenth of the entire number of students. Since then it has very 
 greatly increased. 
 
 The Cornellian of 1869 has the following editorial on Co-Education : 
 
 "The Woman's Rights monomaniacs are attempting to mislead the public 
 into the belief that female students are to be admitted here. The foundation of 
 the rumor probably exists only in the imagination of some enthusiast, who, 
 thinking that the thing ought to be so, unhesitatingly sets up the cry that it 
 is so. The remark attributed to Mr. Cornell in reply to two young ladies can 
 have no foundation, for it has been met with an authoratitative denial. We 
 rejoice at this, and we sincerely trust that Cornell University will never come 
 to be ranked and classed among the Oberlins of America." 
 
 The Cornellian of 1872 records the gift of Sage College and its endowment 
 with the sigh, sic transit gloria. 
 
xxxii DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 The Cornellian of 1875-6, commenting on the last mentioned editorial, says: 
 
 "How philosophically the writer submits to the inevitable, and what a contrast 
 between this and former editorial references to the same vexing topic." 
 
 The reasons the Cornell woman gives for valuing the College training may 
 be summarized as follows: 
 
 It has increased her usefulness. 
 
 It has improved her health. 
 
 It has added to her happiness. 
 
 It enables her better to adapt herself to her circumstances. 
 
 Here is one for the irreconcilables : 
 
 "Do you growl against Co-education ? 
 Does your prejudice make you rebel ? 
 We be of one blood, Little Brother; 
 The Co-eds are staunch for Cornell. 
 Their loyalty never will fail 
 
 Though they may not have lungs for the yell." 
 
 E. N. R. 
 Here is a "Dream" come true: 
 
 "For there I saw some Co-eds fair 
 'Bout whom I dare not joke 
 Upon the crew 
 
 With motion true, 
 Pulling the winning stroke."

 Here is a little protest: 
 
 "Why don't you make the Co-eds drill ? 
 
 It surely is not right 
 That we alone should work and swear 
 And sweat for your delight. 
 
 For equal rights they take the stand, 
 
 You've heard their protests shrill. 
 Now why not grant the just demand 
 
 And let the Co-eds drill ?"

 THE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT 
 
 "Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast." 
 
 One of the most refining influences at Cornell is music. A Glee Club was 
 formed in the early years and the idea has been elaborated, so that we have 
 combined Glee, Banjo, and Mandolin Clubs, which visit some of the larger 
 cities, giving concerts, under the patronage of the local Cornell alumni. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xxxm 
 
 A few years ago the then president of the Glee Club invented "Senior Sing- 
 ing," which has proved very popular; for several evenings before Commence- 
 ment, there is community, student singing in front of Goldwin Smith Hall in 
 the quadrangle. 
 
 The Cornell Cadet Band, under instructor P. Conway, attained great skill. 
 In the Summer School vocational music is taught. 
 
 We must not forget the great pipe-organ, the second largest in America, 
 the gift of President White and friends, which stands in Bailey Auditorium,

 There is a surpliced choir at Sage Chapel services.

 THE SUMMER SCHOOL 
 
 The Summer Session is mostly for teachers and for those students who desire 
 to make up studies in which they may be deficient. 
 
 It was for many years in charge of Professor Charles De Garmo, but in recent 
 years it has been under the supervision of Professor George P. Bristol, Director. 
 
 Some critic found fault with the Summer Students for singing Alma Mater, 
 claiming that they were not regular students and had no right to sing Cornell's 
 sacred hymn. 
 
 The Porto Rican students one summer set the example to other students, 
 as the electric cars bore them away home, by singing patriotically: 
 
 "My Country, 'tis of Thee." 
 
 THE COLLEGE OF LAW 
 
 "Ignorance of the law excuses no person." 
 
 LEGAL MAXIM. 
 The Cornell Law School was founded in 1887. It has paid its own way. 
 
 The money which built its home was intended for the College of Agriculture, 
 but as a witty professor of law said the lawyers got it away from the farmers. 
 
 The Law School was opened in the fall of 1887, with Judge Douglas Board- 
 man as Dean, and Charles A. Collin, Francis M. Burdick and Harry B. Hutchins 
 as Professors of Law, and Hutchins, Associate Dean. To these were added Moses 
 Coit Tyler and Herbert Tuttle of the University Faculty. There were also 
 several special lecturers. 
 
 There was a large attendance the first year and the number of students has 
 gradually increased.

 The school could not fail to become a success from the ability of the men 
 who have directed it. The instruction combines the so-called "Dwight Method" 
 and the case method. The course requires three years of study. 
 
 Its graduates have taken high rank in the profession and many of them 
 have been elevated to the bench. 
 
 Judge Boardman announced his appointment as Dean to the assembled 
 alumni, at the first University banquet, in a humorous after-dinner speech. 
 He said that when they built a sailing-ship in the olden time, they carved out 
 of wood a figurehead, and placed it at the bow, and, "Now," said he, "the trus- 
 tees have chosen for a figurehead a boardman." 
 
 He was succeeded by Judge Francis M. Finch of the New York Court of 
 Appeals. Then came a brilliant young teacher, Ernest W. Huffcut, '84, as Dean. 
 
 He was succeeded by Dean Frank Irvine, '80, of the New York State Public 
 Service Commission. While serving in this latter office his duties as Dean have 
 been assumed by Professor Edwin H. Woodruff, '82, as Acting Dean, who was 
 Acting Professor of Law at Leland Stanford, Jr. University before joining the 
 Cornell Law Faculty. The last named has been several times called upon to 
 preside at political mass-meetings of the Democratic party, and always makes 
 a witty speech. On one occasion, a prominent public office-holder of the State, 
 who heard him, remarked privately to some friends, bearing in mind his youthful 
 appearance: "Your Professor Woodruff is a coming man." "Sir," said one of 
 his hearers, "He has already arrived." 
 
 The Cornell Law Faculty has never been partial to Ithaca lawyers in choos- 
 ing professors, though Professors Francis M. Finch, William A. Finch and Edwin 
 H. Woodruff are notable exceptions. Elmira is the "Happy Hunting-Ground" 
 when there is a vacancy hi the Law Faculty, and the authorities have always 
 done well by going there. 
 
 Professor Woodruff is an old, though comparatively young, Ithaca boy 
 whose career has been watched by many old friends with pleasure. While at 
 Stanford he told some Eastern friends that when he felt lonesome he would 
 rush out and kill a bear or an Indian. Professor Woodruff studies and teaches 
 Domestic Relations but remains unmarried. 
 
 The Cornell Law School now requires at least one year of college literary 
 study as a requirement for admission. 
 
 The Professors in the College of Law have been: Charles A. Collin, 1887-95; 
 Francis M. Burdick, 1887-91; Harry B. Hutchins, 1889-95; Charles E. Hughes, 
 1891-3; Ernest W. Huffcut, 1893-1907; William A. Finch, 1892-13; Francis 
 M. Finch, 1895-03; Charles R. Pratt; Henry W. Harden, 1895-6; Frank Irvine, 
 since 1901; Edwin H. Woodruff, since 1896; Alfred Hayes, since 1907; William 
 L. Drew, 1904-14; C. L. Williams, 1913-14; C. Tracy Stagg and George G. Bogart. 
 
 Among the noted Lecturers in the College of Law have been: Daniel H. 
 Chamberlain, John W. Foster, Charles E. Hughes, Alfred C. Coxe, and William 
 H. Taft.

 THE NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE 
 
 "Way Down on the Cornell Farm." 
 This little song used to cause a smile, but it is different now. 
 
 When the main building of the College of Agriculture was dedicated, Presi- 
 dent White predicted that the participation of the State in providing Agri- 
 cultural buildings was an event which marked an epoch in the history of Cornell. 
 
 Scientific farming has caused a revolution in farm work. Rural life is now 
 more attractive by reason of free-mail delivery, the telephone, the daily news- 
 paper, good roads and the electric cars. 
 
 The tuition is free to residents of the State of New York. 
 
 There is a short Winter Course of twelve weeks. The students in the last- 
 named course are called "Short-Horns." 
 
 The "Farmers' Week," in February of each year, is a popular affair at Cor- 
 nell, and brings 3,500 visitors to the University, for lectures and other enter- 
 tainment. 
 
 Professor Martha Van Rensselaer introduced the Home Economics course, 
 which is very popular, and furnishes the farmers daughters with a practical 
 education in Domestic Science, free of tuition. In connection with this depart- 
 ment there is a modern Cafeteria, where pure food properly cooked is provided 
 at a nominal price.

 his calling, so that it is now recognized as a profession. His Veterinary medical 
 books are very popular among the farmers and lovers of the horse. 
 
 THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT 
 
 "When at first we saw the Major, 
 All hi scarlet and in blue, 
 Ev'ry freshman had a vision 
 That he'd yet be Major too."

 There was considerable concern at first about how to interpret the clause 
 of the charter requiring military drill. 
 
 Some suggested that they have a professor detailed from West Point to give 
 lectures, but President White believed that we should heartily enter into the 
 spirit of the thing, and fulfil our whole duty in the premises. Henry W. Sage 
 told President White: "It is the best thing we have at Cornell." The Presi- 
 dent did not fully agree with him, but thought that the discipline and setting- 
 up of the students was very valuable.

 Under the preparedness programme of the country we ought to be able to 
 have a greatly increased interest in military affairs at Cornell. 
 
 If U. S. Senator A. B. Cummings' bill becomes a law, Cornell ought to be 
 one of the eight military colleges of his proposed measure. The McKellar bill 
 in the lower House of Congress also provides for additional military schools in 
 all the states. 
 
 The new armory is the largest State armory in New York. Gen. Leonard 
 Wood, Senior Major General U. S. A., recommended recently before the Con- 
 gressional committee on Military Affairs, that two more U. S. Army officers 
 be detailed to Cornell University, making one officer for each battalion. 
 
 Willard D. Straight, '01, has given money for out-door drill in vacation. 
 
 The graduates of this department include about a dozen Captains, besides 
 other officers, at present in the Regular Army, including Gen. Geo. Bell, '94. 
 
 Maj. Gen. Mario Garcia Menocal, '88, and Maj. Winchester D. Osgood, '92, 
 aided Cuba in her struggle for freedom. 
 
 Col. Charles S. Francis, '77, and Col. Henry W. Sackett, '75, were Aides-de- 
 Camp on the Governor's Staff. 
 
 The first officer detailed from the U. S. Army as Professor of Military Science 
 and Tactics and Commandant of the Cornell Cadets, was Maj. Joseph H. Whit- 
 tlesey, a West Pointer. 
 
 Among others, afterwards, were Maj. James B. Burbank, who after leaving 
 Cornell was Commandant of Governor's Island in New York Harbor, and Cap- 
 tain Walter S. Schuyler, since Brigadier General, U. S. A. 
 
 The Professors of Military Science and Tactics have been: Joseph Hotchkiss 
 Whittlesey, 1868-70; William Edwards Arnold, (Assistant), 1869-73; Junius 
 Wilson MacMurray, 1873-5; William Percy Van Ness, 1875-77, 1886-9, 1900-04; 
 James Brattle Burbank, 1877-83; Walter Scribner Schuyler, 1883-6, 1896-8; 
 Herbert Everett Tutherly, 1889-92; George Bell, '94, 1892-6; Alexander Bull 
 Trowbridge, in charge of Military Department, 1898; Frank Arthur Barton, '91, 
 1904-8; Ervin Louis Phillips, '91, 1908-11; William E. Gillmore, 1911-12; Henry 
 T. Bull, since 1912-15; C. F. Thompson, since 1915. 
 
 There will be two classes to drill, Freshman and Sophomore, when the new 
 armory is completed and ready for occupancy in September, 1916. 
 
 Military drill in the early years was not regarded with favor by those who 
 took part but in recent years it has been made more attractive. 
 
 It has always been a pleasure to welcome back to Cornell several Cornell 
 graduates in the U. S. Army, as Commandants of the Cornell Cadets and Pro- 
 fessors of Military Science and Tactics, particularly Frank A. Barton, '91, and 
 Ervin Louis Phillips, '91. Attempts have been made to get back here Captain 
 Joseph W. Beacham, '97, an old Cornell football star.

 ATHLETICS 
 
 Cornell first came into notice in the college athletic world by the sweeping 
 victories of its crews at Saratoga Lake in 1875, and again in 1876. The Inter- 
 collegiate Rowing Association, under whose auspices the meet was conducted 
 thereupon burst up no crews cared to meet Cornell. The defeated crews, in 
 derision, called Cornellians "Hayseeds," and said that they did not row "sci- 
 entifically." Cornell used the "Git Thar" stroke. 
 
 The triumphal arches, the parades, the music, the bon-fires, the fireworks, 
 the banquets and speeches in honor of the returning heroes, were like those over 
 a Roman triumph. And the town went as wild as the gown. On one occasion, 
 when the returning crews stopped over in Syracuse on their way home the alumni 
 there paraded, headed by a band playing: "There'll be a hot time in the old 
 town to-night." 
 
 Charles E. Courtney, for many years the Coach of the crews, affectionately 
 called the "Old Man," by his "Boys," is deeply enshrined in the hearts of all 
 Cornellians for his loyalty and his wonderfully successful training. 
 
 Here is the refrain of a favorite rowing song: 
 
 "Stroke, stroke, our crew is at the start, 
 Stroke, stroke, we cheer with all our heart, 
 Stroke, stroke, we can always tell 
 That stroke, stroke, the winner's our Cornell." 
 
 E. A. McCREARY, '00. 
 
 There is an annual regatta on Cayuga Lake at Ithaca in May, and in the 
 following month of June on the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie. It has been 
 decided to hold the June races on Cayuga Lake, near Ithaca, commencing in 
 1916. Later: Poughkeepsie for 1916 decided on since. 
 
 "Eight little boys in blue, lads, 
 Eight little boys in blue 
 Are not in this land, with the requisite sand 
 To tackle a Cornell crew, 
 For well do these boys in blue, lads, 
 Know that right from the start 
 These men in their shell and our boys from Cornell 
 Would soon have drifted apart."

 Here is another: 
 
 "Well, well, well! After twenty years!

 "So we sang with merry voices in gay Poughkeepsie town, 
 And the band played Alma Mater, as the sun was going down; 
 And the sky was blue no longer, but was streaked with red and white, 
 While we shouted loud the promise of 'A Hot Old Town To-night,' 
 We had cashed in every voucher till our pockets could not hold 
 The ripe, rich yellow harvest of Yale and Harvard gold. 
 
 Refrain: 
 
 Oh, the gold! Oh, the gold! 
 
 Oh, the bright New Haven gold! 
 
 Just as free as 'twas of old, 
 
 When the day grew dark and cold 
 
 For Eli's scions bold 
 
 As they bit the dusty mould, 
 
 And our gallant 'Farmers' rolled 
 
 In the bright New Haven gold, 
 
 Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold! 
 
 Since that pleasant summer evening in the turbid Husdon town, 
 
 When we showed our friends from Harvard how to throw old Eli down, 
 
 We've been constantly admonished by a friendly multitude 
 
 To appear before the public in a novel attitude: 
 
 They believed we ought to quibble, and to bicker and to fight, 
 
 Just because at old Poughkeepsie there was nothing else in sight. 
 
 But at last it is decided in the grand old Cornell way, 
 
 We will row with anybody, anywhere, and any day; 
 
 We will travel to New London, not quite penniless, I trust, 
 
 And though gambling is immoral, if you must, of course you must. 
 
 If to shake it in our faces both Yale and Harvard join, 
 
 It will be our sacred duty to relieve them of their coin."

 The departure of the Cornell Crew for the Henley Races in England took place 
 May 28, 1895, and there was a big turnout by both citizens and students, by 
 organizations and individually. 
 
 The crew victories have brought many new students to Cornell, who other- 
 wise would have attended other colleges. 
 
 In football Cornell was not so successful for several years, but during the past 
 season, under the skillful coaching of Dr. Albert H. Sharpe, a Yale man, and 
 Daniel A. Reed, '98, and Ray Van Orman, '08, "The Big Red Team" of Cornell 
 was placed in the front rank of College players. The superstitious may say that 
 "Touchdown," the bear mascot, helped. At the games, one of the favorite songs 
 is as follows: 
 
 "Cheer till the sound wakes the blue hills around 
 Make the scream of the north wind yield 
 To the strength of the yell from the men of Cornell, 
 When 'The Big Red Team' takes the field. 
 Three thousand strong we march, march along 
 From our home on the gray rock height, 
 Oh! the vict'ry is sealed when the team takes the field, 
 And we cheer for the red and white.

 See the ruddy banners stream,

 Some credit towards graduation is now allowed for some forms of athletics; 
 ome are excused from military drill to take part in athletics. 
 
 The athletic coaches train the morals too, and do not allow intemperance. 
 
 The following is from the speech of Coach John F. Moakley before the Cornell 
 Alumni at Buffalo on February 19th, 1916: 
 
 "Cornell's supremacy in intercollegiate athletics is now secure/ 7 Moakley 
 told them at the start. "She has no rival in her leadership. She stands alone 
 in number of championships won and has been the pioneer in demanding the true 
 sportsmanship of all her athletes and in demanding sane methods of control of 
 her athletics. 
 
 "College athletic supremacy is not secured by one successful season's work, 
 but must continue over a number of years. Our record since 1908 has been a 
 succession of victories unparalleled in the history of college athletics. Our 
 achievements are the result of an intelligent system of management and of 
 coaching devoid of the usual rah, rah stuff, pictured so frequently as a necessary 
 adjunct to a college athletic team. 
 
 "At Cornell it is considered bad form not to try for some one of the many 
 varsity, class and intercollege teams, with the result that 3,000 students are 
 thereby kept in fine physical condition. Athletics for the many, and not for the 
 few is the aim of all our coaches. 
 
 "The coaches at Ithaca watch closely the University work of the men in 
 their squads and are able to keep in close touch with that work through weekly 
 reports sent to them by the faculty. Woe to the youth who fails to keep up in 
 his studies! 
 
 "Buffalo now has two worthy representatives on Cornell varsity teams. 
 They are Fred Potter, '16, and Paul Miller, '18. Potter not only is a wonderful 
 athlete, but is also one of Cornell's most brilliant students in electrical engineer- 
 ing, having recently been elected to Tau Beta Pi, the honor engineering society. 
 I rank him with John Paul Jones and Berna as the greatest of all Cornell dis- 
 tance runners and one of America's best. 
 
 "Paul Miller has a bright outlook for a niche in Cornell's athletic hall of fame 
 and will, without doubt, be a member of the All-American eleven of next year. 
 I also expect to see him an intercollegiate point winner in the hammer throw, 
 as his work last year was full of promise." 
 
 Concluding, Coach Moakley paid a high tribute to the late Henry Schoell- 
 kopf . He spoke of him as one of the finest characters he had ever known and as 
 a potent factor in developing the present Cornell spirit.

 Charles E. Courtney's unswerving loyalty to Cornell deserves great praise, 
 for although many offers have been made to him to go elsewhere, yet he has 
 refused all, though many of them paid a better salary than the position he now 
 fills. The almost unbroken series of vistories of the Cornell oarsmen are the 
 result of his coaching. 
 
 His knowledge of the art of rowing, his skill in selecting good "timber" for 
 a crew, his cleverness in properly rigging a boat and seating each man, and his 
 unselfish devotion to the oarsmen who are under his care, win for him their respect 
 and complete obedience. He looks closely after their physical training and diet. 
 
 He has been coach of the crews since 1883. He takes as much delight in train- 
 ing the young men of Cornell how to row to victory as he did when he himself 
 was whining. 
 
 They are called Courtney's "pets" and they idolize him. Their favorite name 
 for him is the "Old Man." 
 
 He has taught them a stroke which is called the Courtney and Cornell stroke 
 by the public, and by their enthusiastic friends the "Git Thar" stroke. It has 
 won for them nearly every race that they have rowed. Others have tried to 
 imitate it, but unsuccessfully. 
 
 "Who wins the races for Cornell ?"

 "Why Courtney is the man,"

 There have been a great many of them but the public hears very little about

 Professor James E. Oliver was another friend in need and a friend indeed. 
 Professor William A. Finch, '80, was another good friend of poor students. 
 
 There are many others, some now living, who would not care to have their

 Mr. P. L. Nunn, head of the Telluride Power Company, engineers, of Provo, 
 Utah, which builds many great water-power dams in the West, built and en- 
 dowed a few years ago, the Telluride Club Building at Cornell. It accommodates 
 about 30 or 40 students, who are educated, clothed and boarded and otherwise 
 provided for, till graduation, after which time they enter the employ of the firm. 
 
 TOWN AND GOWN 
 
 At the time of the opening of the University, Ezra Cornell asked the old* 
 conservative and wealthy families of Ithaca to receive into their homes students 
 as roomers or boarders, or both. There were accommodations for only sixty 
 students in Morrill Hall, and Cascadilla Building was occupied for the most 
 part by professors and their families. The modern student boarding-house 
 had not yet appeared. 
 
 Ithacans always took a lively interest in Cornell affairs; they always joined 
 in our joys and sorrows. When a fund had to be raised to send a crew away 
 the citizens always "chipped in" generously. They applauded, if Cornell won; 
 and took defeat philosophically, hoping for a brighter day. They subscribed 
 one-third of the sum to purchase the Cascadilla Building for the University, 
 and they voted to bond the town to bring railroads to Cornell and Ithaca, and 
 it is only recently that the last bond was paid off; and that is the reason why 
 Ithaca has not had the money to build a new City Hall, or Tompkins County 
 to build a new Court House and County Jail. 
 
 When the Cornell crew departed for Henley, England, the citizens of Ithaca 
 helped to raise the fund to send them, the volunteer firemen paraded, and the 
 fire and church bells rang out a "God speed" to cheer them on their way. 
 
 The Town and Gown Club was organized to foster a friendly understanding 
 and communication between citizens and professors and other University officers. 
 
 The people of Ithaca have always thought well and favorably of Cornell 
 University. They realize that it is doing a great work for humanity, besides 
 it greatly benefits them materially, as witness the large amount of money which 
 teachers, students and visitors put into circulation, and furthermore, many of 
 Ithaca's fair daughters marry students. 
 
 CORNELLIANS IN THE FIRST, SECOND AND 
 THIRD GENERATIONS 
 
 The early Cornell alumni who married and had children sent them to Alma 
 Mater. Doctor Tarbell, '72, a Union volunteer officer in the Civil War, who 
 entered Cornell in 1868, married early and had the first Cornell grandson, George 
 Schuyler Tarbell, '91, who married early and before his admission to the bar, 
 and his daughter, Dorothy Tarbell, has been in Cornell three years, and will 
 graduate in 1916. Clarence D. Tarbell, special student, 1903-6 is another son 
 of D. Tarbell. The home of all, Ithaca. 
 
XL vi DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 Another Ithaca family has the distinction of having sent four children to 
 Cornell, namely: Walter Woodburn Hyde, '93, Howard Elmer Hyde, '00, Lulu 
 Eloise Hyde '89, (who married Charles Statton Davis, '89), and Roger Davies 
 Hyde, '08. 
 
 The Mintz family, also of Ithaca, has sent four sons to Cornell, namely: 
 Harry Benjamin Mintz, '98, Aaron Girard Mintz, '01, Jay Jerome Mintz, '07, 
 and Lawrence Meyer Mintz, '11, all but the third one being graduates of the 
 Law School. 
 
 Rev. Alfred Kelly Bates, Princeton '74, Presbyterian, of Ithaca, married 
 and had six children at Cornell, namely: James Lawrence Bates, '03, Alfred 
 Kelly Bates, jr., '11, Edward Strong Bates, '13, Naomi H. Bates, '13, Mary 
 Seymour Bates, '16, and Gertrude Strong Bates, '16. His daughter, Janet M. 
 Bates married Harold Fanning Penney, '10; his daughter, Ethel L. Bates mar- 
 ried Martin Buel Tinker, B.S., M.D., Lecturer on Surgery, Cornell, since 1903. 
 Edward S. Bates, '13, was Commodore of the Cornell Navy, 1913. Gertrude 
 S. Bates, '16 was stroke of the victorious girls' crew in 1914 and 1915. 
 
 The Riley family, formerly of Ithaca, had five daughters who married Cor- 
 nellians, in recent years. One daughter married Professor Asa C. King, '99, of 
 Cornell. 
 
 Judge Marcus Lyon (Yale '52), of Ithaca, had two sons at Cornell, namely: 
 Philip Schuyler Lyon, '89, and Newell Lyon, '97; and three daughters who 
 married Cornellians, namely: Lucy Lyon, who married Professor Walter Craig 
 Kerr, '79, of Cornell; Laura Lyon who married Otis Lincoln Williams, '88; 
 and Mary Lyon who married John H. Southworth, '93. 
 
 William Cobb, of Spring Mills and Ithaca, sent two sons to Cornell: Fordyce 
 Allen Cobb, '93, and Herbert Lawrence Cobb, '06. Theodore Cobb, of the same 
 places, a brother of William Cobb, sent two sons to Cornell: William Cobb, '84, 
 and Howard Cobb, '95. These students have three cousins, who are brothers, 
 and former Cornell students, registering from Andover, N. Y. : Charles Simeon 
 Cobb, '77, Horace Hamilton Cobb, '78, and Fred Carlton Cobb, '80. F. A. and 
 Howard Cobb are members of the largest law firm in Ithaca, (F. A.) Cobb, (H.) 
 Cobb, (Peter F.) McAllister, (A. W.) Feinberg, and (R.) Heath, all Cornellians. 
 
 The Kent family of Franklinville, N. Y., sent three sons to Cornell: Clarence 
 E. Kent, '97, Willard M. Kent, '98, and Ralph S. Kent, '02. 
 
 CHURCH ATTENDANCE AND ACTIVITIES 
 
 Sage Chapel is nearly always well-filled and often crowded, and occasionally 
 too small for the number who desire to attend preaching, or vesper service, and 
 admission is usually by card. 
 
 The Ithaca churches are well attended by professors and students, the 1st, or 
 Aurora St., M. E. church alone having over 600 student members. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS XLVII 
 
 In the early days of the University there were an unusually large number 
 of student members of the Protestant Episcopal church, attracted to Cornell 
 by the influence of the Rev. Dr. William D. Wilson, and that denomination 
 has always been largely represented among the students. 
 
 Then there are a great many Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, Congrega- 
 tionalists, Baptists, and members of other religious denominations. 
 
 Some of the churches, at the beginning of each academic year, in the Fall, 
 give a meeting for the purpose of giving its new student-members a chance to 
 get acquainted with each other and with the older members. Most of the Ithaca 
 churches have pews set aside for student visitors. There has been some dis- 
 cussion about having club houses, or dormitories for various religious denomina- 
 tions, to be established by the churches, but nothing very definite has come of 
 this, except that the Episcopalians have a Huntington Club, which occupies 
 Sheldon Court, a private dormitory, which is to become the property of the 
 University on the death of Mrs. Sheldon. 
 
 PROFESSOR THOMAS FREDERICK CRANE 
 
 He was not only a member of the early faculty and an active professor for 
 a great many years, but he has always been one of Ithaca's most popular towns- 
 men. His reminiscences of the early days of the University and Ithaca are very 
 interesting. His executive ability has been proven officially by his unanimous 
 selection by the trustees as acting president on two occasions. Professor Crane 
 was thought by some of his students to be quite strict in his class-room, but 
 when they almost invariably passed a good examination under him, and especially 
 when they met him socially and were put at ease by his pleasant manner, the 
 class-room experience was quickly forgotten. Another thing that endeared 
 him to the students was that he always kept his heart young by a kindly con- 
 sideration for the feelings of others, and when some of the other professors in 
 the early days talked harshly about the crews because of the absence of their 
 members from the class-room for practice, it was always Professor Crane who 
 stood up in faculty meetings and spoke a good word for the "Boys." 
 
 He has often presided as toast-master at University alumni banquets and 
 frequently addresses Cornell alumni gatherings in other cities. 
 
 He said on one occasion that after teaching students in the early days, it 
 was with feelings of great pleasure that he welcomed their sons and daughters 
 to Cornell. He also said that it was with mingled feelings that he witnessed 
 football contests between Cornell and Princeton, his Alma Mater. 
 
 He resides in the third house built upon the Campus, and can be seen almost 
 any pleasant day in winter, when there is ice, skating on Beebe Lake. 
 
 He is President of the City Hospital Association and a warden of St. John's 
 (P. E.) church.

 JOURNALISM 
 
 Cornell has a great many alumni who are distinguished in metropolitan 
 journalism, and several of them have lectured on that subject at Cornell. James 
 Brooks, Professor Brainard G. Smith and Professor Willard Fiske, and Charles 
 E. Fitch also lectured. The Cornell periodicals have trained many undergraduates 
 in that branch of education, who have become editors after leaving college. 
 If some one would give the money to found a School of Journalism, the trustees 
 could select a faculty without going outside of the Cornell alumni. 
 
 EARLY LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETIES 
 
 In the early days the undergraduates formed the Philalathean, Irving, 
 Adelphi and Curtis Literary Societies. They met soon afterwards in the room in 
 Morrill Hall, where the Registrar's office is now. These societies developed 
 oratory and debate, but did not greatly promote social life, and so, as at other 
 colleges, they were finally abandoned. There was also organized the Debat- 
 ing Club. 
 
 The Cornell Congress has been in existence a great many years. It met in 
 Deming Hall, "Down Town," for several years but now meets in Boardman Hall. 
 It elects a President of the United States (fictitious) and he chooses a cabinet. 
 The President of the U. S. (fictitious), sends in a "Message" for discussion and 
 action. The members are divided into political groups. 
 
 There are many societies and clubs formed by students in the various de- 
 partments, as the Natural History Society, etc., etc. 
 
 THE Y. M. C. A. AND THE Y. W. C. A. 
 
 Twelve students came together January 23, 1869, and formed the Cornell 
 Y. M. C. A. The society met for several years in the same hall as the literary 
 societies, where is now the Registrar's office, in Morrill Hall. President White 
 presented to these societies bronze statutes of Shakespeare and o f several other 
 celebrities. 
 
 Alfred S. Barnes, in 1888, built Barnes Hall, "For the Welfare of God Among 
 Men," and this became the home of the Y. M. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. was or- 
 ganized several years ago and occupies the Eastern part of Barnes Hall, on the 
 first floor. 
 
 Cornell has ever been proud of John R. Mott, '88, who is now a world's 
 leader in Y. M. C. A. work, among colleges. 
 
 THE UNIVERSITY PRESS 
 
 Early hi its history a Hoe printing-press was presented to the University, 
 and it was set up and used in Sibley College. On it were printed examination 
 papers and other work. It gave employment to quite a number of students. 
 It was found to be cheaper to have the work done privately and the press was 
 sold. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS XLDC 
 
 The first University publication was the Cornell Era, a weekly paper, the 
 first number of which was issued at the hour of midnight on December 1, 1868, 
 just as the clocks were striking twelve. The edition numbered seven hundred 
 copies. The first Era bears the date of November 28. It was first published 
 by the members of the secret societies. The volume for 1874-5 was prepared 
 by editors chosen from the senior and junior classes. This paper, afterwards 
 changed to a monthly magazine, has had a continuous existence since its found- 
 ing, and is one of the oldest literary college periodicals in the country. All ques- 
 tions of university policy were discussed in its columns. 
 
 Professor Willard Fiske was a regular contributor, under the head of "Cornell 
 Notes," and sent in copy containing most of the official news of proceedings of 
 the Board of Trustees and Faculty. 
 
 Many other members of the faculty sent in valuable and interesting articles 
 on university life abroad, travels, etc. 
 
 The Cornell Times appeared as an opposition paper but soon ceased publica- 
 tion. 
 
 The Cornell Review, a literary magazine, appeared in October, 1873, pub- 
 lished at first by representatives of the literary societies, Irving, Curtis and 
 Philalathean, the later being represented in and after 1880 by an editor from 
 the Debating Club. It was first a quarterly, but after the first year was a 
 monthly. In June, 1886, it ceased publication. It was succeeded by The Cornell 
 Magazine which appeared first on April 13, 1888, and for many years until 1900. 
 
 The Cornell Daily Sun first appeared on September 16, 1880, and contained 
 the daily University news. This valuable publication has had a continuous 
 existence ever since that time. An added and valuable feature for several years 
 past is its telegraphic press service. Its editors are chosen from the students by 
 competition, the candidates being first tried out by actual journalistic expe- 
 rience on the paper for a short period of time. 
 
 The Cornell Alumni News, a valuable medium of communication between 
 the University and the alumni, has been published weekly by private enterprise 
 since 1899. Woodford Patterson, '96, for ten years on the editorial staff of the 
 New York Sun, has been the able editor of the Cornell Alumni News since 1906. 
 
 Cocagne, an illustrated comic weekly, appeared but one term. 
 
 The Cornell Widow was its successor, after a long interregnum, and is issued 
 monthly. 
 
 There are several technical and departmental publications, including the 
 Philosophical Review, the School Review, the Cornell Architect, the Cornell 
 Countryman, the Sibley Journal of Engineering, the Crank, the Physical Review, 
 and several others. 
 
 The Cornellian has been published annually since the first year, 1868-9. 
 
 The Cornell Class Books, with statistics and portraits, have been issued by 
 the graduating classes in June of each year for the past twenty-five years. 
 
L DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 CORNELL PREPARATORY SCHOOLS AT ITHACA 
 
 Cornell never had a preparatory department. As many Cornellians have 
 been prepared at Ithaca preparatory schools, these schools will be briefly re- 
 ferred to. 
 
 In the early days William Kinne, a graduate of Yale, built a school building 
 at the north-west corner of Seneca and Spring Streets, in Ithaca, in which he 
 conducted a college preparatory school successfully for many years. When 
 he came to sell it, he accepted the first offer made, about one-half its actual 
 value, because, he said, he didn't want would-be purchasers passing over the 
 carpets and through the rooms, to inspect them. Several years later, Frederick 
 A. Sawyer, a Harvard graduate, a native of Massachusetts, who had been U. S. 
 Senator from South Carolina, conducted a college preparatory school in the 
 recitation and class-room building of the Kinne School, which was situated on 
 Spring Street, back of the dormitory building, and is now a private residence. 
 
 Professor Lucien A. Wait, of Cornell, started a college-preparatory school 
 in the Cascadilla Building, hence the name which he gave to it, the Cascadilla 
 School. Afterwards a brick school building, and later a dormitory building were 
 erected on the high ground between Dryden Road and the bank of Cascadilla 
 Gorge, just east of College Avenue, formerly Heustis Street. Charles V. Parsell, 
 '72, was for many years its principal. It accommodates sixty boys, and has a 
 boating club-house at the mouth of Fall Creek, on Cayuga Lake. 
 
 Charles A. Stiles, '91, conducted the University Preparatory School, at 
 Ithaca, for several years. The old Wick mansion on E. Seneca Street was its 
 home for recitations for a long time and it had several houses fitted up as dor- 
 mitories. 
 
 Coney Sturgis, (P. G.) '05, has conducted a Tutoring School at Ithaca for 
 several years. The main Preparatory School occupies Cascadilla Cottage, the 
 former home of Professor Hiram Corson. 
 
 Frank C. Edminster, '02, has conducted a Tutoring School at 502 Stewart 
 Ave., near the foot of South Ave. and near the Campus, for several years. 
 
 Then last but largest in the number of students prepared for Cornell, comes 
 the old Ithaca Academy, and its successor, the Ithaca High School. This modern 
 school has fulfilled its whole duty in preparing young men and women for Cornell, 
 where they have taken high standing in scholarship and athletics. Among its 
 principals have been many Cornellians, including Fox Holden, '72, from 1875 
 to 1880; Daniel O. Barto, '77, from 1880 to 1888, and from 1890 to 1893; 
 Lewis H. Tuthill, '84, from 1888 to 1890. Barto was succeeded in 1893, by 
 Frank D. Boynton, the present Principal and Superintendent of Schools. 
 
 There have always been a large number of Cornellians in the Faculty of 
 the Ithaca High School. 
 
 There are at the present time about six hundred students in the Ithaca High 
 School, many of them non-resident students, who pay tuition. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LI 
 
 The new High School building, erected two or three years ago, is a model 
 school bulding, being fire-proof and well adapted to its purpose. The contract 
 price for building it was $232,000, and there was $10,000 for pile-driving, be- 
 sides there was the additional cost of equipment, apparatus and books. 
 
 The tax-payers of Ithaca generously voted a sum not exceeding $300,000 for 
 the building. 
 
 Some people think it is a bad plan to have young men prepared for college 
 in a college town, where they mingle with older college men and see so much of 
 college life before actually entering college, but we leave that problem to the 
 educators. 
 
 TRAVEL TO AND FROM CORNELL 
 
 President White says that on his return from Europe on one occasion, he 
 inquired in New York City at the ticket office, for a ticket to Ithaca. The ticket- 
 agent said to him : "Ithaca! Ithaca! It seems as if I have heard of such a place." 
 That may be a little stronger than the ticket-agent put it, but anyway President 
 White assured him that Ithaca was "On the map." The President deplored 
 the fact that the travel facilities to Ithaca were not so good as they ought to be, 
 nor the place as well advertised as it should be for the seat of a great university. 
 
 In the early days the only railroad running into Ithaca was the "Lackawanna," 
 over the "South Hill" switch-back, Ithaca being the end of the Cayuga division. 
 This was the second railroad to be in operation, and the first one on which work 
 was started, in the State of New York; it connected at Owego with the Erie 
 R. R. The switch-back could have been eliminated, but it was easier and cheaper 
 for the engineers to build the road in that way. 
 
 Director Moses Taylor had a plan for it to run down the valley of Six Mile 
 Creek and tunnel under Terrace Place, where the Andrus and Turner mansions 
 stand, but he died before any work was done, and nothing more has been heard 
 about it. 
 
 Ezra Cornell nearly bankrupted himself to build railroads into and out of 
 Ithaca. The old E. C. & N. R. R., on East Hill, was in the early days called 
 the "Shoo-Fly." It entered the Campus because Ithaca was heavily bonded 
 to help build it and only did so with the proviso that it must enter the corpora- 
 tion of the village of Ithaca which it complied with, or very nearly did so, by 
 coming into the Campus over a switch. The station was a wooden, unpainted 
 shanty that stood where Professor Wilcox's residence is now situated. This 
 railroad is now a branch of the L. V. R. R. Before its advent, if a person wished 
 to go to Syracuse, he had to drive to Cortland and there take a train. 
 
 Ezra Cornell also built the Ithaca and Athens R. R., the Ithaca and Geneva 
 R. R., and the Cayuga Lake R. R., which runs from Ithaca to Cayuga, at the 
 north end of the lake. All these last named railroads are now a part of the Le- 
 high Valley system. 
 
 At the end of the University terms both of the railroads furnish special Cor- 
 nell trams to take the Cornell students to Chicago and New York City. The 
 Lehigh and Lackawanna have fine depots at the "Inlet." 
 
LII DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 In recent years the Ithaca and Auburn "Short Line" R. R. was built, using 
 part way the old road-bed of the Auburn and Lansing R. R. 
 
 The Cayuga Lake steamers were another means of travel and transportation, 
 connecting with the N. Y. Central R. R. at Cayuga. 
 
 The railroad travel facilities to and from Ithaca are very good. There are 
 several fast expresses every day to New York City, Philadelphia and to Buffalo 
 and the West. Sleeping coaches are attached at Ithaca for New York City and 
 Philadelphia every night. Ithaca has the most important passenger traffic of 
 any city between New York City and Buffalo. 
 
 The means of transportation from Ithaca to the Campus in the early days 
 was a bus-line, making two trips in the forenoon and one in the afternoon. In 
 recent years there has been the electric railroad car service. 
 
 There are several automobile bus-lines running to other near-by cities and 
 
 CORNELL'S DISTINGUISHED VISITORS 
 
 Cornell University has been visited at various times by many of the most 
 distinguished statesmen, divines and scholars in the world. President and Mrs. 
 U. S. Grant visited their son, Jesse Root Grant, '78, at Cornell, a short time 
 previous to their trip around the world. 
 
 President Rutherford B. Hayes, then Governor of Ohio, came to Cornell 
 to enter one of his sons there. Eventually all of his five sons became Cornellians. 
 
 President Grover Cleveland, then Governor of New York, laid the corner- 
 stone of the Memorial Chapel. Mrs. Grover Cleveland, formerly Frances Fol- 
 som, was a frequent visitor here during her college days at Wells College, at 
 Aurora-on-Cayuga Lake, and has been here several times since. 
 
 President Theodore Roosevelt has been a visitor on several occasions, when 
 Governor, when President, and since. He was on one occasion the guest of the 
 Chi Psi fraternity at their lodge, the former Fiske mansion. 
 
 President William H. Taft delivered the Founder's Day address when Sec- 
 retary of War, and has since delivered several addresses at Cornell. 
 
 Captain, now Rear Admiral, Robert E. Peary, U. S. N., delivered the ad- 
 dress at the unveiling of the memorial tablet to Professor Ross G. Marvin, '05, 
 in Sage Chapel. 
 
 Governor Horatio Seymour, Democratic candidate for President, was at 
 the Clinton House, in Ithaca, an Commencement Day of the Class of '80, and 
 was invited to attend, but was unable to do so. 
 
 Chief Justice Alton B. Parker delivered the Founder's Day address a few 
 years ago. 
 
 Henry Ward Beecher addressed a vast assemblage in Sage Chapel. 
 Gen. Leonard Wood was here recently.

 Bayard Taylor, Louis Agassiz, James Russell Lowell, and George William 
 Curtis lectured at Cornell in the early days. 
 
 Professor Edward A. Freeman of Oxford University, England, lectured at 
 Cornell and pronounced its Campus the most beautiful and sightly college campus 
 in the world. 
 
 James Anthony Froude, the historian of England, also lectured at Cornell. 
 
 When the Chinese Commissioners on Education were sent to this country 
 by the Queen Dowager of China, a few years ago, they visited Cornell. Pro- 
 fessor Jeremiah W. Jenks of Cornell, who had been adviser to the Chinese Gov- 
 ernment on the coinage of that kingdom, was on hand to help entertain them. 
 The main reception by the Cornell students was held in the Armory. Sao-ke 
 Alfred Sze, '01, then attache of the Chinese legation in Washington, came on 
 and introduced them to Cornellians and acted as interpreter. The Cornell Glee 
 Club rendered some college songs as a greeting, the cheer-leaders, with the as- 
 sistance of the students, gave the Cornell yell and a "Tiger" for the Commissioners 
 and for Mr. Sze. Then one of the Commissioners read his address, which was 
 written and spoken in the Chinese language. The other Commissioner kept 
 nodding his head in approval of what his colleague said. Then Mr. Sze interpreted 
 the address which told the purpose of their visit and all about it, with thanks 
 for their cordial reception. The Commissioners were dressed in their native 
 costume, keeping their round flat hats upon their heads even while the address 
 was being delivered, and they kept on their long coats also; they looked just 
 like pictures in the ancient geographies. 
 
 The Japanese Merchants' Association sent a large Commission to the United 
 States and Europe, a few years ago, and it visited Ithaca and Cornell, where 
 it was entertained, after visiting the University and Campus, at a banquet at 
 the Ithaca Hotel. After their return home they sent to the University a beau- 
 tifully woven silk testimonial for its hospitality. 
 
 AVIATION 
 
 Cornell early formed an Aero Club. 
 
 The Thomas Bros. School of Aviation, a local institution, connected with 
 their Aeroplane factory, has furnished instruction in flying for a considerable 
 number of Cornell students. 
 
 Robert Elias Treman, '09, is President of the Cornell Aero Club. 
 
 CLASSICAL AND LITERARY STUDIES AT CORNELL 
 
 "Cornell is only a Scientific and Engineering College." These are the words 
 that greeted the writer when he announced his intention of studying at Cornell. 
 
 "You can see some Cornell specimens right here in our own community," 
 naming them. 
 
LIV DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 Well, the "Specimens" were all right, only some of them had only been at 
 Cornell a term or two in the early years and had boasted that they were "Repre- 
 sentative Cornellians," whatever that may mean. Even at the present day 
 the Summer School students and "Short Horns" announce, some of them, that 
 they are "Regular" Cornell students, whatever that may mean. 
 
 Anyway, it is true that the public had some not very clear ideas about the 
 new institution, which had announced so many different courses, besides the 
 regular classical course. 
 
 One rival college paper said sarcastically that the "Optional" course at Cor- 
 nell must be a very hard one. 
 
 Then it said that the "Non-Resident Professors" must be some "Joke," 
 referring, of course, to their taking the "absent treatment." 
 
 Then the specimens of entrance examination papers, published in the early 
 Registers, caused a good many laughs at the expense of the University, because 
 they appeared to be comparatively easy. But they don't laugh any more at 
 Cornell, or crack any more jokes about her. 
 
 One graduate of Princeton, in business at Ithaca, said that his brother was 
 going to Princeton because it was a "Literary" college, instead of going to Cor- 
 nell. He afterwards failed in business. However, Cornell has now, and for 
 many years past has had, its share of classical and literary students. 
 
 When the other colleges could not beat Cornell at rowing, they said that 
 athletics was not the real test anyway; that scholarship was the thing; so they 
 organized an intercollegiate Literary Contest and Cornell defeated them in that, 
 too, till they quit. 
 
 No university ever had greater teachers in the various departments, of 
 Greek and Latin, in Modern Languages, in Literature, in History, or any other 
 branch of literature than Cornell has had from the beginning to the present 
 time. 
 
 Professor Tracy Peck, after serving for many years, 1871-80, as head of the 
 Latin Department at Cornell, left Cornell to succeed Professor Thomas Thatcher 
 at his Alma Mater. He published several Latin College Text-Books. 
 
 Professor Isaac Flagg, head of the Greek Department at Cornell, 1871-88, 
 was a graduate of Harvard, and left Cornell to become head Professor of Greek 
 in the University of California. He published several Greek college text-books. 
 
 Professor Charles E. Bennett has been at the head of the Latin Department 
 since 1892. 
 
 Professor George P. Bristol, the present head of the Greek Department* 
 has been connected with the department since 1888. 
 
 Professor John R. S. Sterrett was Professor of Greek and head of the de- 
 partment from 1901 till his death, June 15, 1914. 
 
 Professor Herbert C. Elmer, '83, has been Assistant Professor and Professor 
 of Latin since 1888. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LV 
 
 William Gardner Hale was Professor of Latin from 1880 to 1892, when he 
 went to the University of Chicago. 
 
 They are ' 'Knocking" Greek not only at Cornell but at Harvard, and else- 
 where, as Professor Horatio S. White tells us. During Professor Benjamin Ide 
 Wheeler's absence in Athens, action was taken at Cornell, allowing modern 
 languages to be substituted for Greek, to take the A.B. degree. On being asked, 
 on his return, by the writer, what he was going to do about it, he said that he 
 would do nothing, as it was now an accomplished fact. Even the Ithaca High 
 School has given up its class in Greek. 
 
 CORNELL'S GREAT NEEDS 
 
 Cornell's greatest need is more endowment. Cornell's greatest need on the 
 social side, is an Alumni Hall, one in which could be held class meetings, ban- 
 quets, etc., and which would be a club house as well for the Campus community, 
 a place in which to centralize the social interests of the professors and students 
 and where all could meet together. The new University Club meets this want 
 of a social gathering-place and has its headquarters as Sage Cottage, but needs 
 more room. 
 
 Another need of Cornell is a centrally-situated fire-fighting station, fully 
 equipped and manned for emergency. Nearly every year some great building, 
 either belonging to the University, or to some fraternity, is burned almost, or 
 entirely, down, because the fire apparatus cannot reach the scene in time. 
 
 There are many other, and still more important needs which are mentioned 
 more fully in another article. 
 
 THE FRATERNITIES 
 
 The first secret societies to be instituted at Cornell were the Zeta Psi and 
 Chi Phi fraternities. 
 
 In the early days the fraternities met hi rooms over stores "Down Town," 
 and later, about 1876, began to rent and afterwards to build and own lodges 
 of their own. 
 
 The fraternity movement is the strongest at Cornell of any of the col 
 The establishment of new fraternities has always been favored by President 
 White. One of the reasons is because it provides dormitories. 
 
 While they were organized to provide for the social life of the students, which 
 was found not much developed in the old literary and debating societies, yet 
 the "Society" idea has become pretty well developed also, as witness the house- 
 parties at the lodges during Junior, Navy and Senior Weeks, when an entire 
 floor of each entertaining lodge is given over to fair visitors and their chaperones. 
 On these occasions Cornellians give a very good sample of society in New York 
 and Newport. 
 
 It was feared at first that they would unite for mutual action, politically and 
 otherwise, on any pending matters before the University, as the election of 
 Alumni Trustee, etc., or that they might interfere with University discipline. 
 
LVI DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 It has been complained that the scholarship of fraternity men was not so 
 high as that of the other students, on account of social diversions, etc., but 
 recently the fraternities have made good showings in scholarship. 
 
 President Schurman is not a member of any college fraternity and his ad- 
 vice to others who do not belong is "Eat not thy heart with envy over the matter," 
 for there are as good men outside as inside the fraternities. 
 
 However, there are few students in good standing but receive an invitation 
 to join some fraternity. 
 
 There was once a bunch of fellows who wished to get a chapter of an old 
 fraternity at Cornell, but there was one college that stood out against Cornell, 
 whereupon the other fraternity men and the "Independents" had a song: 
 
 "There's one more river to cross; 
 It's deep and wide to the other side, 
 There's one more river to cross." 
 
 While the principal object is to get a bunch of congenial fellows together, 
 yet they keep a "weather-eye open" for the youthful scions of wealthy families, 
 for it costs a lot of money to build and keep up fraternity houses, and they are 
 not going to object to a young man, who is otherwise all right, just because he 
 happens to have money. Furthermore some of the fraternities who have had 
 to run into debt for their lodges may have trouble to pay for them in compe- 
 tition with the new men's dormitories. 
 
 The old time "rushing" for fraternities is practically abandoned by agree- 
 ment of the fraternities between themselves, a committee of each, at an ap- 
 pointed time attending to this work. 
 
 On one occasion, a few years ago, when an unusually desirable candidate 
 was expected over the Lackawanna R. R., an enterprising fraternity sent its 
 committee to the top of "South Hill" and they there boarded the train at the 
 "Switch-back" and persuaded the young man that the University was right 
 there near at hand and that he had reached the end of his journey. Mean- 
 time, the representatives of other fraternities waited at the lower station at 
 the "Inlet" till the train came in and they found that they had been flanked 
 and outgeneraled. 
 
 On another occasion a wag registered at the Ithaca Hotel as "Henry C. 
 Frick, jr., Pittsburg, Pa." He was no myth, for Clyde A. Dunniway, '02, was 
 his tutor, and tried to get him to attend Cornell. Anyway, the boys haunted 
 the hotel lobby for a long time to find this elusive person, but the Clerk being 
 "on" let them "fool" around for a while before letting them know that they 
 were "sold." 
 
 Many wealthy students did not join fraternities in the early years; some- 
 times their parents were opposed, for they had heard unfavorable reports about 
 the early fraternities. The death of young Morimer M. Leggett, '77, in 1873, 
 was one ground, and it caused strong feeling against college fraternities. He 
 was the son of Gen. Leggett, U. S. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, at Wash- 
 ington. The unfortunate young man went with some companions to a lonely 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LVH 
 
 spot on Giles Street, and while waiting for some companions to come to join in 
 the initiation, and while standing under a pine tree, upon a rocky bluff, young 
 Leggett felt himself falling and grasped his companions and all three went over, 
 but he falling on the under side was crushed and died. His father came on and 
 became satisfied that no harm was intended and that it was an accident due to 
 carelessness, and consented to and was, afterwards, initiated himself in the 
 same fraternity. There are now 48 fraternities that occupy chapter-houses, 
 and there are several others that will probably soon build lodges. 
 
 At Cornell the general fraternities take members from all classes, while at 
 Harvard and Yale the most prominent among them, including Psi Upsilon, Alpha 
 Delta Phi, and Delta Kappa Epsilon, choose only upperclass men, after the 
 freshman year. 
 
 Besides the old honorary Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, there are several other 
 honorary and senior fraternities at Cornell, as "Quill and Dagger," etc. Then 
 there is the honorary scientific fraternity, Theta Xi. 
 
 The Delta Upsilon, claiming not to be secret, was formed at an early day 
 from the "Independents," who were opposed to secret fraternities. The Kappa 
 Alpha fraternity was third on the list, Nov. 27, 1868. 
 
 Upon April 3, 1869, three others claimed recognition, Alpha Delta Phi, Chi 
 Psi and Phi Kappa Psi. 
 
 The Alpha Delta Phi was the first to build and own a chapter house, which 
 was of brick and was located at the southeast corner of Buffalo and Spring 
 Streets. 
 
 There are now so many fraternities that it is hard for even a classical scholar 
 to remember one third of them by their Greek names.

 THE CENTENNIAL OF EZRA CORNELL'S BIRTHDAY 
 
 This occurred on the llth day of January, 1907. Great preparations had 
 been made for the celebration of this event. A large tent had been built, and 
 new wooden benches provided for the audience, but the weather was inclement 
 and so the exercises were held in the Armory. 
 
 The occasion was also used to formally dedicate the new main building of 
 the New York State College of Agriculture. The Governor, Charles E. Hughes, 
 was one of the speakers. President White was another. Andrew Carnegie was 
 expected but was ill and could not come. However, he had prepared for the 
 occasion an address upon the "Life of Ezra Cornell," which was afterwards 
 published. 
 
 THE FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF CORNELL 
 
 The formal exercises of this occasion took place at Commencement in June, 
 1908. A special, and successful, effort was made for a Grand Reunion of the 
 alumni. The exercises were held in front of Goldwin Smith Hall. President 
 White spoke with his accustomed mental vigor. Judge Frank H. Hiscock, '75, 
 of the New York Court of Appeals, spoke for the alumni. 
 
 The graduating class and undergraduates, in a body, called upon President 
 White at his home, where he addressed them, clad in his Oxford gown, out of 
 compliment to the graduating class, who wore their caps and gowns. 
 
 STUDENT CUSTOMS 
 
 The early students were fond of making night raids on the old cider-mill at 
 Forest Home, but that has long since passed away, with other familiar land- 
 marks. 
 
 "Rushes" are a thing of the past at Cornell. 
 
 Commencement exercises for the past few years have been held in the open 
 air on the slope in front of McGraw Hall, in a little natural ampi theatre, with 
 board seats arranged in a semi-circle. 
 
 The out-door Class Day exercises are still held in the little grove in the College 
 quadrangle. 
 
LX DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 Hallowe'en always brings student pranks, including the "borrowing" of 
 gates, signs, etc. 
 
 There are certain student rules that must be observed by undergraduates; 
 for example, the Freshmen must wear regulation caps. At the end of the aca- 
 demic year, at Commencement time, they have a big bon-fire at which the caps 
 are burned. 
 
 The University has printed "Rules for the Guidance of Students." There 
 are also special rules for the guidance of the women students. 
 
 STUDENT FESTIVITIES 
 
 "Spring Day" comes annually with its fantastic parade and circus. Dr. 
 Wilder used to issue a manifesto against its frivolities and plead for a more 
 rational celebration. Nevertheless, he retains his great popularity. 
 
 "Junior Week" is the great event in the social life of the University, when 
 Cornell is crowded with bright visitors. It comes next after "Block," or term 
 examination, Week, and comes either the last week in January or the first week 
 in February of each year. Then comes "Navy Week," in May, followed by 
 "Senior Week" in June. 
 
 "Around the cycle of the season whirled, 
 And Ithaca was filled with pretty girls, 
 Who took our rooms, and made us sweep the floors, 
 And clean the house, and then live out doors." 
 
 D. W. McG.,'ll. 
 
 STUDENTS AID 
 
 The loan fund at the Treasurer's office has helped many students through 
 their college course, and the money is always repaid. The Students' Relief 
 Fund is another valuable aid. Then there are many fellowships and scholar- 
 ships, besides the State scholarships which give free tuition to four students all 
 the time from each assembly district. 
 
 STUDENT GOVERNMENT 
 
 There have not been many serious breaches of discipline. Some students 
 have been "removed" for "cribbing," or cheating, in examinations. They forgot 
 the classical allusion to the ancient town of which modern Ithaca is the name- 
 sake: "Ithaca is a poor place for horses," and we will add "or for ponies." 
 
 There is a Committee on Student Affairs that now regulates those matters. 
 It is composed of undergraduates with one faculty member. 
 
 The proctor, Lieutenant T. H. Tweston, now is the adviser of men, and 
 supervisor of their conduct, and is popular notwithstanding his unpleasant duties. 
 The great army of students are left practically to their own sweet wills as to 
 deportment, attendance upon routine duties and the general employment of 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LXI 
 
 their time. They are not required to attend Chapel exercises and they are not 
 marked and tagged and watched by monitors. The night is their B own, to work 
 or to waste, as they will. It is a true student Republic. If the student mis- 
 behaves he is amenable to the law. If he neglects his studies and falls below 
 the standard of scholarship he is dropped. Cornell is not a reformatory, but 
 for the earnest young men and women it has no superior in the world. 
 
 STUDENT MORALS 
 
 About the "nineties" there was an organization in Ithaca called the "S. P. C.," 
 or "Society for the Prevention of Crime," with Professor George W. Jones, of 
 Cornell, President, and Fred J. Marsh, Agent. This society was in existence 
 for several years. At the time of its formation there were in Ithaca several 
 houses of bad repute, eighty places where liquor was sold, and several gambling 
 places. There were a large number of convictions for crime during its existence, 
 which it claimed to have secured. Still there were several of that class of houses 
 in existence. It finally died from lack of financial support. It had accumulated 
 a great variety of enemies and some respectable citizens doubted the efficiency 
 of its measures. It was a singular coincidence that soon after it went out of 
 existence, the "bad spots" of Ithaca were quietly but effectually put out of busi- 
 ness by the sheriffs of that time, assisted by the local police, so that there has 
 not been a house of bad repute in Ithaca during the past ten years, and there 
 are not more than about twenty-five places for the sale of liquor in Ithaca, in- 
 cluding drugstores, hotels and saloons, though Ithaca's citizen population has 
 doubled, and its student number has quadrupled since that time. There is not 
 nearly so much liquor-drinking among Cornell students now as there was in 
 former years, as has been proven by careful investigation. 
 
 FOUNDER'S DAY 
 
 On the llth day of January comes the anniversary of the birth of the Founder, 
 and every year it is observed by the suspension of all University work. There 
 is an address by some distinguished orator on the occasion. 
 
 In recent years among the speakers have been Lyman J. Gage, Justice Henry 
 B. Brown of the U. S. Supreme Court, Alton B. Parker, William H. Taft, and 
 General Leonard Wood, who recently spoke here on war preparedness. 
 
 FOREIGN STUDENTS AT CORNELL 
 
 In the early days there were quite a good many students from Brazil at 
 Cornell, probably through the influence of Professor Charles F. Hartt of Cornell, 
 who made a Geological Survey of that country. They continued to come to 
 Cornell until about 1895, when a Brazilian student claimed that the require- 
 ments for admission and graduation were too high, so he quit and went to Syra- 
 cuse University; soon afterwards the rest of the Brazillian students left Cornell. 
 
 The Metropolitan Club was formed by foreign students several years ago; 
 soon afterwards the Spanish students left the Metropolitan Club and formed 
 the Spanish-American Club. Their lodge is on Dryden Road. 
 
LXII DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 In recent years there have been about thirty-five Chinese students at Cornell 
 all the time. They are sent by their home Government, from the income of the 
 "Boxer" indemnity, imposed upon China after the "Boxer" troubles. The 
 United States refused to take its share and thereupon China set the sum aside 
 as an educational fund, and out of compliment to our country directed that the 
 beneficiaries of the fund should be educated in the United States. Some go to 
 other colleges in our country but the largest number to attend any college, come 
 to Cornell. After graduation they are obliged to return to their native land 
 and enter the government service, to repay for the expenses of their education. 
 
 There are about one-third as many Japanese as Chinese students at Cornell. 
 They also are sent at the expense of their home government and afterwards 
 enter its service. 
 
 In their home countries many former Cornell students have attained great 
 distinction, as witness: Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, '01, who was appointed Chinese 
 Ambassador to the U. S. and is now Minister of Posts and Roads. 
 
 Then there is Gen. Mario Garcia Menocal, '88, who is now President of the 
 Republic of Cuba. 
 
 Ryokichi Yatabe, '76, who was one of the few Commencement speakers at 
 graduation, and spoke in beautiful English, has been for many years Professor 
 of Botany and Director of the Botanical Gardens, University of Tokio. 
 
 A few years ago there were several native students from India, in Agriculture. 
 A native prince visited them for a period of about two weeks and examined the 
 Cornell Agricultural plant. 
 
 THE LIBRARY 
 
 It first occupied the central section, on the ground floor, where the faculty 
 room used to be, and where the Registrar's office now is located, in Morrill Hall. 
 In 1870 it was removed to the ground floor, in the central section, of the McGraw 
 Building. In 1891 it was removed to the new University Library Building. 
 
 In 1871 it had 27,500 volumes. It now has nearly 500,000 volumes. Pro- 
 fessor Willard Fiske was the first librarian. It was in financial distress, soon 
 after its removal to the McGraw Building. Until 1880 the annual appropriation 
 for the library was only $1,500. In that year the trustees appropriated $20,000 
 for it. 
 
 Professor Fiske, long afterwards, gave to it the splendid Dante collection, 
 and many other books, and finally all his property, amounting to over $500,000 
 for the increase of his own collection of books. 
 
 George William Harris, '73, succeeded Professor Willard Fiske, as Librarian 
 in 1883, and served until 1915, when he resigned and was succeeded by Willard 
 Austin, '91, the third and present Librarian.

 Willard W. Ellis, '01, has been curator of the shelves for fourteen years. 
 
 "In the library she studied, 
 A Co-ed passing fair 
 With her text-book and her pony 
 And her pencil in her hair. 
 
 But she rose with quick decision 
 For another crib to look 
 When a terrible explosion 
 The massive building shook. 
 
 And Austen murmured gently, 
 As the little desk he dusted: 
 'Alas! these awful Co-eds; 
 Another lamp they've busted. "

 THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT 
 
 The treasurer of Cornell University, with a $20,000,000 institution on his 
 hands, has something to do. The early trustees were not all financiers but there 
 have always been strong men on the Finance Committee of the Board of Trus- 
 tees to manage its business affairs. 
 
 George W. Schuyler was the first treasurer, 1865-74. 
 
 When Joseph W. Williams, the second treasurer, 1875-9, died in 1879, Mr. 
 Sage, in paying a tribute to his memory, said that his accounts were absolutely 
 correct to a penny. His successor, Emmons L. Williams, 1879-1915, after thirty- 
 five years of faithful service in that office, became Comptroller in 1915. 
 
 The cashier of a great metropolitan bank does not often handle more money 
 than does the Treasurer of Cornell, and he has a multitude of other duties placed 
 upon his shoulders; the payments for new buildings, and apparatus, and equip- 
 ment for the same, the improvement of the grounds, and repairs to buildings, 
 and many other financial responsibilities are his burden. 
 
 Charles D. Bostwick, '92, is the fourth, and present Treasurer, appointed 
 in 1915. 
 
 THE INFIRMARIES 
 
 Florence Nightingale, the heroine of the profession of nursing, was an angel 
 in disguise. 
 
 If it had not been for the University Infirmary at the time of the great ty- 
 phoid fever epidemic, the loss of student lives would have been much greater. 
 As it was many students had to be sent home to be cared for there, on showing 
 symptoms of the disease. There were nearly sixty cases of the disease in the 
 Infirmary all the time, and even the attic of the old Sage mansion had to be 
 used for sleeping apartments for the nurses. Additional houses were hired by 
 the Trustees and converted into hospital annexes. 
 
LXIV DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 The new fire-proof Infirmary has eighty beds and the old mansion is now 
 the nurses' home. Any professor, teacher or student, who is taken ill, can be 
 admitted. It is a very important and necessary department of the University. 
 
 The old home of Henry W. Sage could not have been put to a better use. 
 
 THE GYMNASIUM 
 
 "If by gaining the knowledge, we destroy our health, we labor for a thing 
 that will be useless in our hands; he that sinks his vessel by overloading it, 
 though it be with gold, and silver, and precious stones, will give its owner an 
 ill account of his voyage." BACON. 
 
 The first gymnasium was a small wooden building that stood about where 
 the Sigma Phi fraternity lodge is now situated. The money to build it was 
 raised, about 1873, by Professor William E. Byerly, of Cornell, afterwards of 
 Harvard. It was a crude affair and had but little apparatus. 
 
 When the old armory was completed it was used, and is used to the present 
 day, as the gymnasium. An annex was added later, with an indoor running- 
 track, and a general room for gymnastics, and in the basement lockers and 
 bath-rooms, and a swimming-pool. 
 
 Dr. Edward Hitchcock was Acting Professor of Physical Culture and Hy- 
 giene, 1883-8; Professor, 1888-1903. 
 
 Dr. Charles Van Patten Young, '99, has been Acting Professor of Physical 
 Culture and Director of the Gymnasium, 1904-6; and Professor and Director, 
 since 1906. 
 
 ALUMNI FIELD 
 
 This lies east of the original Campus on the east side of a new avenue, parallel 
 with East Avenue running north and south. Its north and east sides face a new 
 quadrangle formed by the new Agricultural buildings. To grade this field cost 
 a large sum of money, the cost being borne by the alumni, hence the name. 
 
 The field has three levels: The main field is for football practice games, 
 and for minor sports. Another field is the Stadium for football contests with 
 other colleges, with concrete seats on the east side. The Schoellkopf Memorial 
 building for athletics flanks it on the north. The baseball field or lowest level, 
 is not yet completed. 
 
 PERCY FIELD 
 
 This is still used for baseball contests with visiting college teams. It was 
 given by William H. Sage and named as a memorial for an alumnus.

 THE WHITE GATE 
 
 The beautiful gate at the southern entrance of the Campus was the gift 
 of President White. The inscriptions are as follows: 
 
 East Tablet: 
 
 "In remembrance 
 
 Of all who with him had part in the founding of this University : 
 Of all who here gave instruction, 
 
 Of all who have pursued their studies under his presidency and with a God speed 
 To all who have gone or shall go hence to their life work 
 With noble purposes and firm resolves: 
 
 This gateway is erected by 
 ANDREW DICKSON WHITE 
 
 1896." 
 West Tablet: 
 
 "So enter 
 
 That daily thou mayst become 
 More learned and thoughtful: 
 
 So depart 
 
 That daily thou mayst become 
 More useful to thy Country and mankind." 
 
 FAVORITE PLACES, SHRINES AND MEMORIALS 
 
 The Goldwin Smith walk around Cascadilla Gorge, and Lover's Walk to 
 Forest Home, on the bank of Fall Creek, are the favorite walks around Cornell. 
 
 The entrance gates, the gift of President White; the stone arched bridge 
 over Cascadilla Gorge, the gift of William H. Sage; the Sheldon seat, the Goldwin 
 Smith seat, the Fernow seat, the memorial boulder to Professor R. S. Tarr, the 
 statue of President White, the bell given by Rev. Robert Collyer to Sibley Col- 
 lege, the Alaskan totem-pole, and the rows of beautiful elm trees are among 
 Cornell's most prominent out-door memorials. There is the Memorial Chapel 
 with the reclining statues, stained-glass memorial windows, and memorial tablets. 
 
 The Sage Chapel proper contains the beautiful Sage Memorial Apse, and 
 many stained glass memorial windows, and memorial tablets of brass and marble. 
 
 Then there is the life-size bronze statue of Moses, the gift of President White, 
 which stands in the White Library, where is also the porcelain vase given to 
 President White by the Emperor of Germany when the Ambassador left Berlin. 
 
 Then there are the two beautifully carved chairs for use at Commencements, 
 one for the President, the other for the chairman of the Board of Trustees. 
 
 There is the Sheldon marble memorial seat. 
 The bronze statue of President White.

 There is the bell that Rev. Robert Collyer brought from England and gave

 he was an apprentice. 
 
 Many paths have been built along the sides of the banks of Cascadilla Gorge, 
 and to the bottom of the Gorge, just below, and also some near to Trip-Hammer 
 Falls, from money contributed in recent years, by the alumni; these paths 
 make Beebe Lake more accessible, and also gives an opportunity to view the 
 falls from the depths of the Gorge. New paths have also been built, and old 
 paths repaired in varoius other gorges and glens on the Campus, and the banks 
 of the streams have been cleared of debris. The bank of Beebe Lake is a favorite 
 resort for picnic parties in summer. 
 
 THE FISKE WILL SUIT 
 
 John McGraw died May 4, 1877, leaving all of his property to his only child, 
 Jennie McGraw, who afterwards married Professor Willard Fiske of Cornell. 
 
 At her death, without issue, she left $300,000 to her husband, and several 
 large gifts to her other relatives, amounting in all to nearly $1,000,000, and 
 made Cornell University the residuary legatee of the remainder of her property, 
 estimated to be worth $1,500,000, for a library and its support, and for a uni- 
 versity hospital. Had this bequest been carried out, it would have given to 
 Cornell one of the largest libraries in the world. 
 
 Professor Fiske, although he had signed an ante-nuptial agreement not to 
 interfere with the control or disposition of his wife's property, became grieved 
 over certain personal matters and brought suit to break the will. 
 
 He soon afterwards associated his wife's relatives with him in the suit. The 
 contestants, by their counsel, David B. Hill, claimed: 
 
 I. That the Charter of the University limited the amount of property, 
 which it could hold, to $3,000,000, and that it already held that amount. 
 
 II. That she had given more than one-half of her property to a charitable 
 institution, contrary to the provisions of law. 
 
 The University contended, by Samuel D. Halliday, 70, and Judge Edwin 
 Countryman, of Albany : 
 
 I. That the University did not own $3,000,000 worth of property, nor any- 
 where near that amount, and therefore it could receive the whole, or nearly 
 all of the bequest. That the Western lands, given by the U. S. Government, 
 were only held in trust, and were not therefore, a part of their absolute possessions. 
 
 II. That she had not given more than one-half of her property to a chari- 
 table institution. That her estate, instead of being free, was encumbered with 
 great debts, which made its value much less than was generally supposed. 
 
 Judge Douglas Boardman was the executor of her will, as well as that of 
 her father. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LXVII 
 
 The Surrogate sustained the will but the New York Supreme Court reversed 
 his decision, which latter view was confirmed by the New York Court of Appeals, 
 and the United States Supreme Court. 
 
 David B. Hill retired from the case on becoming Lieutenant Governor and 
 ex officio trustee of the University, and Judge George F. Comstock, of Syracuse, 
 took his place. U. S. Senator George F. Edmunds appeared for the University 
 in Court at Washington. The decision of the Court was that the portion of the 
 Western lands for which Ezra Cornell paid 30 cents per acre was a trust, but 
 the surplus was not a trust, and therefore, Cornell University already owned 
 $3,000,000 worth of property and could not take any under the will. 
 
 THE GREAT TYPHOID FEVER EPIDEMIC 
 
 This commenced in February, 1903, and was one of the largest in history. 
 There were over one thousand cases. There were fifty-two deaths, about one- 
 half of them being among students. 
 
 The waters of Six Mile Creek, which supplies Ithaca with drinking water, 
 became polluted by the sickness, with typhoid fever, of a laborer on its banks, 
 while building the Ithaca Water Works' upper dam. The hospitals were crowded 
 and extra nurses were called from other near-by cities to help. Many private 
 homes were filled with the sick. Many poor students lost all their money but 
 were reimbursed by Andrew Carnegie. 
 
 The University faculty generously allowed the students who had been ill 
 the highest credit in scholarship that they could afford, so that many were en- 
 abled to graduate who might not otherwise have been able to do so. 
 
 There were no sick persons among those who drank from the University 
 water plant. 
 
 The Ithaca Water Works Plant was purchased by the city soon afterwards 
 by vote of the tax-payers, and it now has filtration. The University also has a 
 filtration plant, the gift of Andrew Carnegie, soon after the fever epidemic. 
 
 One Ithaca newspaper thought it was doing its duty in suppressing news 
 of the great epidemic because it would hurt Cornell and Ithaca and keep intend- 
 ing visitors away. The other paper published all the facts and especially was 
 prompt in announcing any new cases. Perhaps both were right. 
 
 LEST WE FORGET 
 
 The early death of Professor Charles Frederick Hartt in Brazil, while con- 
 ducting explorations for the government of that country caused great gloom at 
 Cornell. 
 
 Professor Ross G. Marvin, '05, had accompanied Peary on one of his Arctic 
 expeditions, and went down to New York to say good-bye to the members of 
 another, but the lure was too strong and he asked and obtained leave from the 
 University to go. While alone with his Esquimau companions, he sank from 
 sight in the Arctic waters and was never seen again. Captain Peary spoke at 
 the unveiling of a tablet to his memory in Sage Chapel.

 Then there was W. D. Osgood, '94, a Cornell football player, who was killed 
 while fighting for freedom for Cuba. 
 
 Then there was the death of eight young men in the Fiske mansion fire. 
 Memorial windows to them, appear in Sage Chapel. The inscription on one of 
 the windows reads: "Greater love hath no man, than that a man lay down his 
 life for a friend." 
 
 Then there are the losses by drowning in Cayuga Lake and other waters 
 about Cornell. 
 
 There was the death by his own hand of Dean E. W. Huffcut, on a Hudson 
 River steamer. He was popular, but very sensitive, and feared that his pet 
 measure, the Public Service Commission Bill, would fail, but it went through. 
 His successor as Dean is a member of that Commission. 
 
 Then there was Professor Willard Fiske; his heart was true to Cornell and 
 at the end he gave to it his all. 
 
 CORNELL CASUALTIES 
 
 Frederick Gordon Rew, '97, a freshman from Buffalo, N. Y., disappeared 
 in September, 1903, from Cornell. His father was State Secretary of the Good 
 Templars. The boy's parents insisted that he had been murdered, presumably 
 by tramps, though he had but little money. After a two years search he was 
 found at the Island of Ceylon when a tramp cattle-steamer on which he worked 
 his passage, arrived there. He claimed to be a victim of Aphasia. He claimed 
 that while walking along the shore of Cayuga Lake he suddenly forgot his own 
 name and identity and wandered about the earth. He did not try to conceal 
 his name when he shipped as a helper, and thus was found by the Pinkertons 
 and confronted with his own photograph and came to his right senses. 
 
 Instructor Lucius S. Merriam of Cornell and Mary L. Yeargin, '96, of 
 South Carolina, disappeared while out rowing on Cayuga Lake, Nov. 17, 1893. 
 Her body was recovered. 
 
 At one time a few years ago, two young men and two young women, all 
 Cornell students, were drowned by the overturning of a canoe near the light- 
 house. Their bodies were recovered. 
 
 Several years ago, February 20th, 1894, Mrs. Henrietta Jackson, a colored 
 woman, was poisoned by chlorine gas, while some sophomores were trying to 
 break up a freshman class supper. The perpetrators of the crime were arrested. 
 The presiding Supreme Court Judge told the Grand Jury it was merely a harm- 
 less student prank or words to that effect, for which the New York World 
 mercilessly scored him editorially. Professor Charles A. Collin told his law 
 class that it was murder. 
 
 The burning of the Fiske mansion, Dec. 7, 1906, was a great calamity be- 
 cause of the death of eight persons, directly and indirectly caused by the fire, 
 several of them Cornell undergraduates, and one of them, Alfred S. Robinson, 
 '97, a former law student.

 When the A. T. O. fraternity lodge burned at the corner of University and 
 Stewart Avenues, the Treasurer of the fraternity was suffocated. This fire 
 occurred at the noon hour and during a "Junior Week," a few years ago. 
 
 After repeated warnings from President Schurman and Coach Charles E. 
 Courtney to be careful on Cayuga Lake and avoid sudden squalls and especially 
 to keep out of canoes, and sending word to the parents of students and requiring 
 their consent before the women students could go on Cayuga Lake, there have 
 been few accidents and they not serious. 
 
 A student was drowned in the experimental canal, and another near its 
 mouth in Beebe Lake. 
 
 Emil Schwertfeger, 78, committed suicide in 1877, because the physicians 
 said that if he continued to study hard he would lose his eye-sight. He had 
 been a prize-winner for Cornell in the Intercollegiate Literary Contest. 
 
 Dean Ernest W. Huffcut, '84, with brilliant prospects, took his own life, 
 in 1907, on a Hudson River steamer. 
 
 Professor Ross G. Marvin '05, was lost in the Arctic. 
 
 By the burning of the steamer "Frontenac" on Cayuga Lake, near Farley's 
 Point, on the east shore in July, 1907, there were eight women drowned, two of 
 them Cornell Summer School students. They were forced by the officers to 
 jump off the boat to save being burned. A high wind caused high waves of water 
 and the life-preservers did not save them. Some were badly burned by being 
 forced by the wind and waves against the side of the burning steamer. 
 
 DRAMATIC INTERESTS 
 
 The Masque is an association of men students for the promotion and pro- 
 duction of good plays. 
 
 The Savage Club entertains many of the leading visiting members of the 
 theatrical profession. 
 
 The Cornell women students also have a dramatic association which recently 
 presented "Quality Street." 
 
 There have been several Cornellians who have become prominent on the 
 stage, and also as playwrights, including Frank R. Luckey, '81, who took part 
 in "Pinafore" in his student days, and is now a Congregational minister; Stephen 
 T. King, '88, actor-manager; Robert L. Dempster, '04, in legitimate; Tripp 
 Davey, '09, in musical comedy. Rennold Wolf, '92, has become a famous play- 
 wright. 
 
 The Lyceum theatre was provided by several wealthy Ithacans, who never 
 expected, and never received, any dividends upon their investment. 
 
 There is also one large moving-picture and vaudeville house, with two more 
 about to be built, the Crescent on North Aurora Street near the corner of Buf-

 falo Street, and The Strand, on East State Street, just east of Aurora Street. 
 Because of faculty and student patronage, Ithaca is considered one of the best 
 one-night stand show towns in the country, the local managers having brought 
 first class attractions. 
 
 Said a Cornell student one day: 
 "This 'Blue Jeans' I think will be gay, 
 
 And so to the show, 
 
 To-night I will go.' 
 And he asked for a ticket in A. 
 
 But Gutstadt looked up in a flutter,

 REMINISCENCES OF CORNELL 
 
 There has been a division of opinion among the alumni over the advisability 
 of conferring honorary degrees. There have been so many conferred at some 
 other colleges, as a reward for gifts or for favors to come, or from favoritism, 
 that the custom met with disfavor at Cornell. However, the Doctorate of Laws 
 was conferred, in 1886, on President White of Cornell, and President David 
 Starr Jordan, an alumnus. The alumni, in meeting assembled, having dis- 
 approved the conferring of any more, the recipients offered to return them, but 
 the offer was not accepted. 
 
 When the University opened it was supposed that the number of applicants 
 for admission would be about fifty and so when three hundred applied the au- 
 thorities were not well prepared to examine so many very carefully. The ex- 
 amination took place in Military Hall in the basement of the Cornell Library 
 building. 
 
 At first only the A.B. degree was given but the Classical students insisted 
 that only those who had taken Latin and Greek ought to have that degree, 
 so the second graduating class had some candidates for the B.S. degree. 
 
 One of the early professors at Cornell was William Channing Russell, its 
 only Vice-President. He was one of the oldest members of the faculty and 
 had the duties of Acting President thrust upon him, without the authority of 
 a President. 
 
 President White once received a letter from a country bank president, say- 
 ing that from the reports that he had received about Cornell University, that 
 he would not "patronize" Cornell, but would send his son to another college. 
 The President wrote back and told him that the patronage was all on the Uni- 
 versity side that it cost three or four times as much to educate a young man 
 at Cornell, as was received from him in tuition.

 There was great excitement at the Agricultural College when the prize bull 
 drank some liquid preservative, mistaking it for water he died. 
 
 The first, last and only Junior Exhibition was broken up by student rowdy-

 President Schurman showed good foresight when he had a ground-plan 
 made of the Campus by noted landscape architects, showing where new build-

 Who among the early professors and students can ever forget Jefferson 
 Beardsley and his studio ? The latter stood on Linn Street at the foot of Uni- 
 versity Aveune, on the south bank of Cascadilla Creek, near a beautiful water- 
 fall. He was a true artist and many of his photographs of the early Cornell 
 crews and of their individual members appeared in Harpers Weekly and other 
 periodicals of that time. 
 
 A certain member of '78, attended a faculty "Seance." When he came out 
 of the room he was trembling and scared, and when some one asked him what 
 time it was, fumbled at his watch and answered "Thirteen o'clock." 
 
 A certain Professor was one day telling his class in German about Goethe. 
 He said, "About this time Goethe fell in love with a rich banker's daughter in 
 New York." Then realizing that he was telling his own love-story he colored 
 up and dismissed the class. 
 
 Professor Othon G. Guerlac, although an American citizen, is now fighting 
 in the trenches for his native France. Professor G. Mauxion is also a soldier

 Joshua Hurst, an Englishman, was the janitor of the Museum in the early 
 days. About 1878 the students subscribed the money for himself and wife to 
 visit his old home in England. 
 
 Joseph Genung, an aged farmer, who went about with his old white horse, 
 "Kitty Clyde," selling to the students for many years, pure sweet cider, which 
 he himself had made, is now no more; he sleeps with his fathers in the little 
 cemetery by the white church, on Snyder Hill. 
 
 One member of the Class of '76, from New York City, hired Dodsworth's 
 famous New York Band for the Commencement of his class and paid the ex- 
 pense out of his own pocket. 
 
 The Freshman Class of '88 started for Auburn, to hold their class banquet; 
 the sophomores lined up across their path at the "Inlet," with stockings filled 
 with lamp-black, which they used with telling effect. However, the class reached 
 Auburn all right and had their banquet. Freshman President Williams, '87, 
 was kidnapped, but his captors became alarmed, and, on the promise not to 
 prosecute them criminally, he was allowed to return in time to preside at the 
 class banquet. 
 
 Benjamin Ide Wheeler said once, at a University alumni banquet, that 
 things were somewhat "mixed" at Cornell, with blacksmith shops and horse-

 are "mixed" very much as at Cornell.

 The Cascadilla Gorge had only a foot-bridge, down near the bottom, be- 
 tween Cascadilla Building and the Campus proper, and many a time when 
 some dignified profesor tried to preserve his equilibrium in walking down the 
 banks on either side, his footing would give way and he would slide ungracefully 
 down the incline to the bottom, while the students grinned. 
 
 A student once told Rev. Dr. W. D. Wilson that if he would read backward 
 his lecture on the History of Philosophy, he would have the Philosophy of History. 
 
 Professor James E. Oliver will be remembered for his habit of forgetfulness.

 then he felt in his pocket for it to see if he had time before the roll-call to go and

 Thomas Frederick Crane was a young lawyer in Judge F. M. Finch's law 
 office, became private secretary to Ezra Cornell, and was chosen Assistant Pro- 
 fessor of South European Languages. He is now one of the few surviving mem-

 in which he still lives.

 President White showed great patience in sitting for his statue. He had to 
 go to New York City and sit in the open air and be photographed a great many

 SOME OPINIONS, COMMENTS AND EXPLANATIONS 
 
 "Alumni retain and somewhat liberally exercise the traditional privilege of 
 all children to freely criticise the ways of the household. Sometimes their fault- 
 finding is but the result of their jealous regard for the honor of their college 
 and an indirect expression of the fervor of their zeal for its more abundant pros- 
 perity." NOAH PORTER. 
 
 The statements made, and the opinions expressed in this work, are not the 
 official views of the University, but only those of the author; they may be mis- 
 taken, but they are honest; care has been taken not to say anything personal 
 which would offend the most sensitive about any person, now or ever, connected 
 with the University. The author is very zealous for the honor and good name 
 of the University and everybody at any time connected with it as officer, teacher, 
 or student. 
 
 With an acquaintance of forty years with Cornell, and as an observant citi- 
 zen of Ithaca, we have formed some opinions about university affairs. There 
 have been many mooted questions of policy, and there have been many critical 
 times in the affairs of Cornell, now happily tided over, and we shall not even 
 refer to them except incidentally. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LXXHI 
 
 Our face is turned towards the bright future of Cornell. We would write 
 the story of Cornell on its human and personal side, like a Fourth of July ora- 
 tion all the way through, if we had a large enough vocabulary and the proper 
 power of expression. Optimism about everything Cornellian is the key-note 
 of our story. The world is growing; Cornell is growing. If she remains a private 
 institution, and shakes off every attempt to make of her a State University; 
 if the successors of the present Faculty and Board of Trustees keep up ideals, 
 traditions and precepts of the founder and his co-workers; if Cornell remains 
 progressive, and allows no religious denomination to control her, or money- 
 power octopus to fasten its tentacles about her, she may be the greatest of the 
 great universities of the future. 
 
 We notice in one of President Schurman's Reports that he attacks athletics 
 pretty hard. We hope that time has softened the asperity of his utterances on 
 that subject. The great success of Cornell in that field ought to cause our great 
 hearted president to put his foot on the soft pedal. Athletic victories bring many 
 new students to Cornell. Athletics ought to be, of course, only an incident in 
 a young person's education, as President Schurman stoutly maintains. 
 
 The author was advised to say nothing about athletics in his book. Leave 
 out Courtney and those glorious days at Saratoga and Poughkeepsie ? Never! 
 
 To write a complete history of Cornell University and do justice to the sub- 
 ject, with all its various interests, would require years of hard study, and a com- 
 prehensive mind and felicity of expression, which the writer does not claim to 
 
 The first part of this book was written under pressure, figuratively speaking, 
 and we hope for that reason any defects may be overlooked. The author in- 
 tended to write only about "Distinguished Cornellians," and then he thought 
 it would not look well to tell all about the children without saying something 
 about Alma Mater. In other words the historical part of this work was written 
 hastily, and only after conferring with some literary and scholarly friends, in 
 whom the author had confidence, and from whom he received encouragement 
 to write also some historical notes and reminiscences. There will be found few 
 statistics and few dates, as there are other places where those facts can be found. 
 
 Some reader may say that this story is largely a biography of President 
 White, because his name appears frequently. Very well, he is one of the great 
 men of the age; the Great Idea of a Liberal University was original with Ezra 
 Cornell and Andrew D. White. As Minerva sprang full-armed from the brain 
 of Jove, so this plan sprang full-matured from their brain and hearts. Other 
 colleges evoluted from the needs of religious denominations for an educated 
 ministry, but the "Cornell Idea" was different. The noble example of Ezra Cor- 
 nell undoubtedly influenced other wealthy persons to found colleges. Take, for 
 example, Senator Leland Stanford; he came to Cornell to find a President for 
 his new university and found him in the person of David Starr Jordan, '72. 
 
 The success of Cornell University, situated as it is so far from the great 
 centers of wealth, is due to the confidence of parents, and men and women of 
 wealth in President White and President Schurman, and to the fact that the 
 "Cornell Idea" is absolutely right.

 There was once a poor young man in San Francisco who wanted to attend 
 Harvard. He had no money to pay for travel so he "hoboed" it on trains till 
 he reached Cambridge, his destination. When the Harvard Alumni Association 
 of his home city heard of it they said that, if they had known it in advance, 
 they would have cheerfully paid his transportation, and they immediately took 
 hold and helped him financially through his course. 
 
 There are plenty of young men and women too, who feel that way about 
 attending Cornell, and it is too bad that they cannot be reached and helped. 
 There ought to be a Committee of the Alumni, or a University Commissioner, 
 to look after such cases. Many students try the examinations in their home 
 counties for the State Scholarships at Cornell and then, if unsuccessful, attend 
 some other college. The Committee could look after such cases and bring them 
 into the Cornell fold. Wealthy men and women could not use their money 
 to a better purpose than to help such cases. 
 
 We are not the Committee on the Semi-Centennial Celebration, nor even 
 a member of the committee, but we venture this opinion, namely: That with 
 nearly 35,000 alumni, if only ten or twenty per cent of that number attends 
 the Grand Reunion, together with the 6,000 or more undergraduates, there'll 
 be a whole lot of enthusiasm and noise, when that great number gets together, 
 notwithstanding the desire for quiet and scholarly exercises, by the authorities . 
 
 We would like to see some concrete example of the love and gratitude of 
 Cornellians for their Alma Mater shown, either by the gift of a large sum of 
 money for an endowment, or by the erection of some grand buildings. If it is 
 to be a building, like a great Alumni Hall, for instance, we would like to see it 
 built and used on that great occasion. 
 
 The recognition of the fact that students need a good literary preparation, 
 a year or two in college, before taking up the study of the learned professions, 
 as law or medicine, or a technical profession, as engineering, is a move in the 
 right direction. 
 
 Cornell should have bought Cornell Heights and Cayuga Heights, for future 
 expansion. Columbia has 12,000 students, and there are two or three other 
 universities that have nearly as many. Cornell has only about 6,000 students. 
 There is nothing to prevent Cornell from having 12,000 or 20,000 students, 
 except money for buildings and apparatus, and professors' salaries. 
 
 The "Cornell Idea" is right and has been approved and we may confidently 
 look forward to a time, near at hand, when we will get more help from the State, 
 and from the National Government for the Military Department, and from 
 private individuals. 
 
 The memorable scene at the opening of the University ought to be commem- 
 orated by a pageant, with moving-picture adjunct, at the semi-centennial cele- 
 bration. 
 
 While the study of law in a Law School is valuable, yet the theoretical side, 
 as the laws of New York wisely provide, should be supplemented by study in 
 a practicing lawyer's office; for example, a person cannot learn to swim by read- 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LXXV 
 
 ing how out of a book; he must plunge into the water and learn how by ex- 
 perience. The increase in the requirements for admission from time to time 
 has always been a move in the right direction. 
 
 We always feel like cheering when Cornell's President announces another 
 gift. May his persuasive voice continue to be heard by the rich and charitably 
 inclined, for many years to come! 
 
 Ithaca has the largest per cent of educated people of any city in the country. 
 
 Bismarck said that university men thought on graduation that they were 
 qualified to be Governor of a Province at least. 
 
 It is said that a Professor in Smith College (for women) resigned recently 
 because three-fourths of his class were Anarchists, Socialists, or Suffragists. 
 This is "interesting," if true. 
 
 It is said that the favorite author among college men is Jack London, the 
 Socialist. 
 
 It seems too bad that Cornellians who are worthy of honorary degrees, must 
 look to some other institution to confer them. 
 
 THE PAST QUARTER OF A CENTURY 
 
 "We are doing something now!" 
 
 These are the words of a trustee a few years ago. The occasion was the 
 establishment by the State of buildings for the College of Agriculture. As Presi- 
 dent White predicted this event started a mild "boom" at Cornell, in the line 
 of buildings and additions to the University's landed domain, and endowment. 
 Cornell University is now a great corporation. This has its advantages and dis- 
 advantages. In the old days when it was smaller there was a closer contact 
 between the head teachers and the students 
 
 During nearly the entire period of the past twenty-five years President 
 Schurman has been at the head of affairs, though it seems only a short time 
 ago that he commenced his duties as President. During this period the Uni- 
 versity added to its possesions, among others, these new buildings: Goldwin 
 Smith, Rockefeller, and Stimson Halls, the new Sibley Dome Building , Robert's 
 Hall, the Agronomy and Dairy Buildings, the Hydraulic Laboratory, the new 
 Power House and tunnel to it from Beebe Lake, the Carnegie Filter Plant, 
 the rebuilt Sage Chapel, Alumni Field, the opening and grading of West Avenue, 
 the establishment of a central heating plant; besides the new Veterinary College 
 buildings, and the many new Agricultural College buildings, and heating plant, 
 the new Armory, Schoellkopf Memorial for athletic training; and last, but 
 not least, the Medical College Buildings in New York City, and the Men's Dor- 
 mitories. 
 
 The story of Cornell seems to be just one thing after another, as the saying 
 is, building after building, endowments upon endowments, a perfect shower of 
 gifts, and progress all along the line.

 President Schurman says that the wave of Co-education has reached its 
 height. 
 
 Some Cornell graduates say that the postgraduates at Cornell do not belong 
 to any regular class; that they belong to some class at some other college. How- 
 ever, the writer attached their names at the bottom of the class in which they 
 took their advanced degrees. 
 
 Also some Cornell graduates object to the Special students being assigned 
 to any class, that they are running "Wildcat," so to speak in railroad language, 
 but we attach them at the foot of the class in the year in which they attended 
 Cornell. The reason for this is obvious, that regular graduates are jealous of 
 their prerogatives, on questions of precedence, etc., etc. 
 
 SUMMING UP 
 
 "Cornell University is the largest educational plant in America." 
 
 ANSON P. STOKES. 
 
 The teaching force at the opening numbered 23 resident professors, and 
 assistant professors. In 1913-14 it numbered 750. 
 
 The number of students at the beginning was 300. In 1881-2, it was down 
 as low as 312, but in a few years the number increased till it reached its former 
 record. In 1914-15 it was 6,496. 
 
 Cornell now has entering classes of over 1,000. There have been more than 
 27,000 students in attendance. 
 
 The number of buildings at the opening was 2. There are now 80 buildings 
 among them Goldwin Smith and Prudence Risley Halls, which are fine, modern 
 college buildings. Then there are 48 fraternity lodges, which help to solve the 
 dormitory question. The library contained a few thousand volumes. In 1914- 
 15, it had 423,570. 
 
 The original Campus has been enlarged and the University's landed domain 
 increased by the purchase of many farms on its eastern bounds, and now com- 
 prises 1,500 acres. 
 
 The first money amounted to $500,000, and then we had the unsold Western 
 lands besides. 
 
 The productive funds in 1914-15 amounted to $13,973,542. The total in- 
 come in 1914-15 was $2,425,781. To this must be added the $4,200,000 endow- 
 ment of the Medical College and the money for the new men's dormitories, 
 
 Cornell is no longer in the "experimental" stage. It now has great prestige 
 and popularity and many new colleges, especially in the Great West have taken 
 Cornell for their model. 
 
 Its alumni are filling with honor some of the highest positions in the world. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LXXVII 
 
 The following is taken from President Schurman's speech before the Cornell 
 Alumni at Buffalo, February 19th, 1916: 
 
 "The total income of the University as a whole, including moneys received 
 for buildings and other purposes, was in 1914-15 over $3,000,000, and the ex- 
 penditures about the same. The total income of the university for normal 
 operating expenses is over $2,000,000. Two million dollars make a large an- 
 nual expenditure. But for the maintenance of a staff of over 600 teachers and 
 the education of a student body of nearly 6,000 it has become inadequate. And 
 the University is seriously in need of additional endowment funds. These en- 
 dowments are needed to provide first of all adequate salaries for professors and 
 other members of the instructing staff, so that the very best scholars and sci- 
 entists in the country may be secured and held at the University. The second 
 object for which moneys are now needed is the new system of residential halls 
 for the young men on which a beginning has already been made. 
 
 "I am very much struck with the way in which Cornell University in the 
 forty-eight years of its existence has met and indeed anticipated the intellectual 
 wants of America. First, as I have said, it was the recognition of pure science 
 to a place in the University curriculum side by side with the classics. Then 
 it was the recognition of applied science and engineering. Later came the recog- 
 nition of agriculture. And nowadays when everybody is talking about Pre- 
 paredness, we can point out that Cornell University ever since its foundation 
 has been preparing its students by the requirement of military drill to take their 
 part in the defense of the republic, should she ever be in need of it. 
 
 "The object of the military department is to train students so that they 
 may qualify as officers of volunteers. As you know, a professor a regular 
 officer of the U. S. Army is sent to us by the War Department, and the War 
 Department annually inspects his work. This inspector in his last report stated 
 that Cornell was fitting its undergraduates for posts as officers and added that 
 'conditions at this institution could not be better, and should there be a great 
 need for volunteer officers, it is thought that Cornell could be drawn on to furnish 
 a reasonable number.' 
 
 "Milton has declared that the object of a higher education is to qualify 
 young men in times of peace and war to discharge generously and magnani- 
 mously all the duties of life. In view of what I have stated, I think we may 
 claim that Cornell University is substantially realizing that ideal." 
 
 SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AND GRAND REUNION

 And never brought to mind ? 
 Should auld acquaintance be forgot, 
 And days of auld lang syne ?

 And gie's a hand o' thine;

 The trustees have, by resolution, designated October 6th, to 8th inclusive, 
 1918, for a celebration of the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Opening of 
 the University. The main events will be held on the second day, in view of the 
 fact that it will be just fifty years from the time that the first class entered the 
 University. 
 
 A statue of Ezra Cornell will be unveiled during the course of the celebration, 
 by Andrew Dickson White. 
 
 It is planned to raise a fund of $3,000,000 as an additional endowment. 
 
 But little time during the celebration will be devoted to the past, though 
 the history of the institution will be summarized. The key-note of the affair 
 will be future development, and ideas for the future will be the chief considera- 
 tion. 
 
 The gathering for the celebration will be one of the greatest meetings of 
 educational authorities ever brought together. A special effort will be made 
 to bring together on this occasion as many of the alumni as possible in a "Grand 
 Reunion" of all the classes. 
 
 A PROPHECY AND A TOAST 
 
 We are not a prophet, neither are we the son of a prophet, but it seems 
 
 only a few years ago that Cornellians realized that their gresteat need was a 
 large auditorium for commencements and mass-meetings of students; another 
 was men's dormitories and an additional woman's dormitory; then a suitable 
 athletic field. Now we have them. If we read the stars aright, great-hearted 
 men and women will appear in the near future and provide Cornell with more 
 dormitories for men and for women; a large gymnasium that is so much needed, 
 an athletic club-house for "Kite Hill," and last, but not least, a much larger 
 endowment. The alumni will also build an Alumni Hall. There will be many 
 more new buildings and other gifts, as more fully set forth in our next article, 
 a fulfilment of the prophecy. 
 
 If the aforesaid prediction comes as true as one the author made about 
 twenty years ago, we shall consider ourselves considerable of a prophet. It 
 was published in an Ithaca paper at that time and looked as impossible as the 
 prediction we now make for Cornell. 
 
 Our toast is, "To A Greater And More Glorious Cornell!" We mean by 
 this: within 10 years, more great and beautiful buildings, 1,000 professors, 
 10,000 students, and in the valley below a busy city of 30,000 people. 
 
 LOOKING FORWARD, OR CORNELL IN 1931 
 
 We had just alighted at the Cornell Aerodome on "Kite Hill" from a Thomas 
 flyer. 
 
 You see, as Ira A. Place, '81, had predicted, the steam locomotive had been 
 abandoned for electric motor-power on the railroads, but even then travel was 
 too slow. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LXXK 
 
 An Aviation School had become a department of the University. 
 
 As we glanced around we were greatly surprised at the many changes and 
 improvements that had taken place on the Campus. The Administration Build- 
 ing loomed up large at the right. Cornell's foundation and possessions had grown 
 to something like $40,000,000 and the University had to have larger business 
 quarters. 
 
 Then there was the new Karl Bitter College of Art on Cayuga Heights. The 
 new College of Music, with its building, was situated near Prudence Risley Hall. 
 The new Fuertes Astronomical Observatory, with one of the largest telescopes 
 in the world, had been built on a sightly elevation just north of Beebe Lake. 
 Then there was the new Schiff College of Commerce. Henry W. Sage Hall was 
 the home of the Sage School of Philosophy. Thurston Hall was the name of 
 one of the new buildings of the Sibley College group. The new White Hall was 
 the home of the White School of History and Political Science. There was 
 the Bristol School of Education Building. Then there was Schurman Hall, 
 for the Graduate School, for research. Lincoln Hall for the College of Civil 
 Engineering had been greatly enlarged. The University Library had another 
 wing added for stacks for books. Then there was Babcock Hall for the College 
 of Architecture. There were also a new Hydraulic Laboratory and a Laboratory 
 for testing materials. The Cornell Summer School and modern Chautauqua 
 now occupied a group of new buildings at Glenwood, on the west shore of Cayuga 
 Lake. 
 
 The plans which President Schurman had caused to be made years before 
 had all been carried out and the old Campus all covered with great buildings 
 and the University grounds were extended north nearly to Rogues' Harbor 
 for building sites, and eastward nearly to Dryden for farm experimental work 
 and the support of the Department. 
 
 Through the influence and great exertions of George C. Boldt, George F. 
 Baker, and other friends, the groups of Men's Dormitories had long since been 
 all built and were occupied. 
 
 Several more women's dormitories were added to Sage College and Pru- 
 dence Risley Hall. 
 
 The new million-dollar Gymnasium was thought to be the latest thing in 
 everything for the development of indoor athletics. 
 
 The Alumni Hall was a very beautiful building where the old graduates 
 could assemble for class meetings and banquets, and also have rooms. 
 
 The College of Journalism had a fine building. 
 
 The faculty numbered more than 1,000 and there were more than 10,000 
 students in attendance. 
 
 The Armory built away back in 1916 was not nearly large enough to accom- 
 modate the Military College, established under the bill of U. S. Senator A. B. 
 Cummings, passed in 1916, and the U. S. Government had built several new 
 large buildings for the Military Department. The fortifications of the Cornell 
 
LXXX ' DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS 
 
 Coast Artillery loomed up on Cayuga Heights, its guns sweeping Cayuga Lake 
 for twenty miles. They looked down upon and protected the Cornell Naval 
 Training School at Crowbar Point on the west shore. 
 
 The New York Ship Canal had been completed, and the swift, light draft 
 cruisers and submarines of the Naval Fleets of the Red and the White, com- 
 manded by Cornellians, lay in plain sight, with the Cornell aeroplanes hovering 
 over them to protect them. 
 
 On Cayuga Heights stood one of the largest wireless telegraph stations in 
 the country. 
 
 The boom of the heavy guns of battery "Courtney" on the strongly fortified 
 island off Union Springs, to protect the mouth of the Ship Canal, could be plainly 
 heard at a distance. 
 
 A crowd of super-war-correspondents from the Matthews School of Jour- 
 nalism at Cornell hung like a cloud around the scene, anxiously awaiting news 
 of war developments. 
 
 Departing from Cornell's usual rule to have only schools at Ithaca under 
 her immediate direction, she had accepted the invitation of Trustee Charles 
 M. Schwab and annexed the Bethlehem Steel Works, for turning out heavy 
 ordnance, as an auxilliary to our fighting strength, and its machine shops were 
 known as the Schwab School of Practical Mechanics, as an auxiliary to Cornell. 
 
 The Ithaca Gun Works supplied the small arms to equip the invincible Cor- 
 nell Army and Navy. 
 
 The Morse Chain Works had become a war munitions factory. 
 
 Several foreign nations had threatened war with our country, but, upon 
 reading the Cornell programme of preparedness, concluded that they wanted 
 peace, because if the whole nation was prepared as well in proportion as Cornell 
 was, it would be a useless effort to try to conquer the United States. 
 
 Ithaca and its beautiful scenery had been advertised as a fine summer resort 
 and the Cornell Sanitarium and the Cornell Inn, both on Cayuga Heights, at- 
 tracted many summer visitors from the great cities. 
 
 The City of Ithaca, with a population of over 30,000 people, had expanded 
 and now covered all the territory round about as far as the water's edge at the 
 north, and up the valley at the south. Forest Home was a large and beautiful 
 suburb, and Enfield Falls Park was a popular outing place for the citizens. 
 
 The Ithaca Automobile Works, near the head of the lake, was considered 
 among the largest in the world. 
 
 The new City Hall and the new County Court House were in evidence. 
 
 The Wharton Moving-picture Studio at Renwick Park, was said to be one 
 of the largest in the world.

 BENEFACTORS 
 
 John McGraw was born May 22, 1815, at Dryden, N. Y. He engaged in 
 the lumber trade and removed to New Hudson in 1840, to New York City in 
 1850, and to Ithaca in 1861. He was the owner of large tracts of timber lands 
 in the State of Michigan where, at Winona, he, with a partner, H. W. Sage, 
 built the largest saw-mill in the world. He became interested early in the Uni- 
 versity, and erected for it the McGraw Building in 1869-70. Trustee, 1865-77. 
 He died May 4, 1877, at Ithaca, N. Y. 
 
 Hiram Sibley was born Feb. 6, 1807, at North Adams, Mass. He removed 
 in 1843 to Rochester, N. Y. He took an active part in the construction of the 
 early telegraph lines, and was President of the Western Union Telegraph Com- 
 pany from 1856 to 1866. He built and equipped the Sibley College of Cornell 
 University and endowed the Sibley Professorship of Practical Mechanics. 
 Trustee, 1865-88. Since his death his son, Hiram W. Sibley, has become a bene- 
 factor of the University and Trustee, 1887, and since 1889. Hiram Sibley died 
 July 12, 1888, at Rochester, N. Y. 
 
 Henry W. Sage was born January 31, 1814, at Middletown, Conn. His 
 parents were poor and he had to win his own success in the world. He removed 
 in 1827 to Ithaca, N. Y., where he later engaged in business with his uncles, 
 Williams Brothers, who were merchants and large shipping agents. In 1854 
 he purchased a large tract of timber land around Lake Simcoe in Canada, where 
 he engaged in the manufacture of lumber on a large scale. He afterwards be- 
 came a partner with John McGraw in the same business in the State of Michi- 
 gan. He was elected a member of the New York Assembly in 1847. In 1857 
 he removed to Brooklyn, where he became an influential member of Henry 
 Ward Beecher's church. In 1870 he was elected a trustee of the University 
 and in 1875 became President of the Board of Trustees which office he continued 
 to hold until his death. He gave Sage Chapel, and Sage College, a dormitory 
 for women, with its endowment, the University Library, with its endowment, 
 and the endowment for the Sage School of Philosophy. He also gave the Archaeo- 
 logical museum. He died Sept. 18, 1897, at Ithaca, N. Y. His eldest son, Dean 
 Sage, endowed the preaching fund at Sage Chapel, and gave Stimson Hall for 
 the Medical College at Ithaca. His sons, Dean Sage and William H. Sage, 
 after their father's death, gave his former mansion as a University Infirmary, 
 and a sum of money to remodel its interior to adapt it for its new purpose. Will- 
 iam H. Sage also gave Percy Field for athletics, the stone arch-bridge over 
 Cascadilla Gorge and the Zarncke collection of books. 
 
 Alfred S. Barnes, the New York School-book Publisher, gave Barnes Hall, 
 for the Y. M. C. A. His son, Gen. Alfred C. Barnes, gave the astronomical 
 observatory. 
 
 Among the benefactors of Cornell in more recent years are Andrew Carnegie, 
 who made one of the most gracious and appropriate gifts in his life, when he 
 reimbursed the needy students who had spent their money to save their lives 
 in the great Fever Epidemic in 1903; he also gave a water filtration plant, 
 and later an Annex to Morse Hall for additional chemical laboratories.

 OTHER COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS 
 
 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL 
 
 When Cornell gets a great Graduate School it will be performing in the 
 highest degree its functions as a University. President Schurman has asked 
 that some rich person, or some group of wealthy persons, give $20,000,000, just 
 to start a Graduate School at Cornell. That seems a large sum of money. How- 
 ever, there are now many millionaires, and we hope that President Schurman's 
 earnest prayer will be granted. A great School of Research at Cornell would, 
 to a great extent, keep American students from going abroad to finish their 
 education in special subjects. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS LXXXIII 
 
 President White long ago formulated plans for a great National University 
 at Washington, where the students can have access to the records and collections 
 of the Government Departments. However, Cornell has given for many years 
 an example of what such an institution should be like. The post-graduates of 
 Cornell have become some of the greatest teachers in the land, and not a few 
 of them are at the head of universities and other large educational institutions. 
 There are now about 350 post-graduate students at Cornell.

 specimens and to observe the rock formations, and they were well rewarded for 
 their work. There still grows in the cold depths of Fall Creek Gorge a little 
 Arctic flower which was transplanted to this place on some glacier in the early 
 days of the world. South of Ithaca about nine miles, near West Danby station, 
 on the Lehigh Valley R. R. can be seen many little earth mounds or "humps" 
 left by glaciers. The region about Cornell is rich in specimens for the geologist.

 THE GREAT BUILDINGS 
 
 There are some eighty buildings but only the more prominent and the newer 
 ones will be mentioned. 
 
 MORRILL HALL 
 
 Erected 1866. This was the first building to be erected, and was completed 
 and occupied at the opening of the University. It was then called the South 
 Building, but it was afterwards christened Morrill Hall in honor of U. S. Senator 
 Justin S. Morrill of Vermont, the author of the U. S. Land Grant Bill. In the 
 early days this building was a very busy place.

 Erected 1868-9. This was originally the North Building, and the name was 
 changed in honor of President White. 
 
 CASCADILLA BUILDING 
 
 Erected about 1865. Sometimes called Cascadilla Place. This was originally 
 started, but not completed, for a water-cure, with "Willow Pond" to the east, 
 where College Avenue crosses over to the Campus. It was finished and occupied 
 at the opening of the University. It was occupied by the University for dormi- 
 tory purposes and was crowded. It was remodeled in 1913. 
 
 McGRAW BUILDING

 son Dean Sage, gave the endowment to secure the preaching by ministers of all 
 denominations. The original building was partly demolished to make enlarge- 
 ment. The same money expended on a new building would have built a greater 
 and grander structure, but on account of old associations the old form was re- 
 tained. The new embellishments were the work of Tiffany and are very beauti- 
 ful and costly. Lyman Abbot at the new dedication, declared it to be the second 
 finest chapel in America. The Sage memorial apse at the eastern end, with its 
 allegorical figures in Mosaic, are especially fine. Then there is a carved pulpit 
 of one solid piece of Caen stone. There are many beautif ul stained-glass memorial 
 windows. There are here found many memorial tablets to Cornellians and bene- 
 factors, trustees, professors and friends of the institution. The mausoleum,

 GENERAL OBSERVATIONS 
 
 It will be well to bear in mind that Cornell is still a comparatively young 
 university, and the early classes were small in numbers, while the older colleges, 
 many of them, then had two or three tunes as many students as Cornell. 
 
 Furthermore, they had long lists of alumni, running back from one hundred 
 to two hundred years or more. 
 
DISTINGUISHED CORNELLIANS xcv 
 
 In considering the alumni of any college we, of course, include all, which 
 gives the older colleges a great advantage in that respect over Cornell. Many 
 of our most promising graduates are still under the "Chloroform Age" (40) of 
 Dr. Osier, and have yet many years to develop and attain still higher success. 
 The names given below are but a small part of the total number. The next 
 twenty years will find them holding many more of the highest positions in the 
 world. 
 
 A more detailed list and account of eminent Cornellians will be found in 
 "Alumni By Classes" and "Alumni By Positions and Occupations," later on in 
 this book. 
 
 There is little said about athletics, because after leaving college few students 
 continue their training and athletic work, and an athletic reputation is fleeting. 
 To-day one man is victor and his name in print; to-morrow he is forgotten in 
 the victory of some other man. 
 
 IN POLITICS AND PUBLIC OFFICE 
 
 The first Cornellian to come into prominence became a National figure, 
 Joseph B. Foraker, of Cornell's first graduating class, that of '69. He has been 
 for many years the greatest Republican political leader in Ohio, and he twice 
 presented the name of Willian McKinley to National Conventions for the Presi- 
 dency. He served as Governor and U. S. Senator. He has recently announced 
 that he is out of politics. He has recently published a book, "Life Notes," 
 which tells about his political victories and defeats. 
 
 The most prominent Cornellian of recent years in politics belongs to the 
 other of the two great leading parties, the Democratic party. He is Edward 
 M. House, '82, the most intimate personal and political friend of President 
 Woodrow Wilson. He was one of the greatest leaders in bringing about the 
 nomination and election of President Wilson, and it is said that he picked out 
 three members of the President's original cabinet, namely: Bryan, Burleson 
 and Daniels. He was sent to the warring nations of Europe in the fall of 1915 
 by President Wilson as a special diplomatic agent and he has just returned from 
 a similar mission, supposedly in the interest of bringing about peace. He could 
 undoubtedly have been in the cabinet had he desired, or have received an Am- 
 bassadorship. He is called President Wilson's human barometer. He is the 
 man who "sizes up" men and senses public opinion for the President. 
 
 Mario Garcia Menocal, '88, is President of the Repubh'c of Cuba. 
 
 Andrew B. Humphrey, '75, was Secretary of the National League of Repub- 
 lican Clubs, away back in President McKinley's time, and was offered a high 
 political office by that President. 
 
 George T. Baker, '79, is one of the leading public men of the State of Iowa, 
 and has been offered the nomination for several high political offices by the 
 Democratic party.

 Among the younger men is Manton M. Wyvell, '01. At the time when 
 William J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate for President, spoke at a mass 
 meeting at DeWitt Park, in Ithaca, in 1900, several hostile students were hetch- 
 eling Bryan with questions, and other students were making a noisy demon- 
 stration against the speaker. The speaker noticed a young man leading the 
 cheering for the Democrats, inquired his name, asked to meet him, and then 
 invited him to accompany him on his speaking tour, which invitation was 
 accepted. This friendship thus formed led to Mr. WyvelTs appointment as 
 Private Secretary to William J. Bryan, when U. S. Secretary of State. After 
 serving for about two years he was appointed Counsel to the International 
 Boundary Commission. 
 
 Another young and active politician is William L. Ransom, '05, who is now

 by any party without one or more Cornellians on it; one year there were five 
 candidates. 
 
 Clarence J. Shearn, '90, ran for Governor on the Independence League ticket, 
 in 1908. 
 
 William A. Deford, '90, ran for Attorney-General on the same ticket, the

 Every class from the beginning, '69, has published the Cornellian. 
 
 Every class since 1891, except 1892, 1895 and 1896, has published a Class 
 Book in its senior year. However, it is a singular fact that few classes have 
 published a class history in the years following graduation, notable exceptions 
 being the classes of 73, 78, and '92. 
 
 There is no recorded class yell, nor class colors, until the class of '86.

 the occasion of his revisiting Cornell, about fifteen years ago. Its members 
 came from other colleges and took advanced standing at Cornell. There were 
 only eight to graduate, and, as the diplomas were handed out in alphabetical 
 order, Charles F. Behringer received the first diploma from Cornell.

 BOARDMAN, DOUGLAS, A.M. Trustee, 1875-91. Born in 1819, at Covert,

 District Attorney of Tompkins County, N. Y., 1847-50, County Judge, 
 1851-5, and Justice of the New York Supreme Court, 1865-88, serving part 
 of the time as a Justice of the General Term. He presided at the famous 
 first trial of Edward S. Stokes for the murder of James Fisk, jr., and sen- 
 tenced Stokes to be hanged, a fact which made his name familiar throughout 
 the State. He was executor of the will of John McGraw and later that of 
 Jennie McGraw Fiske, over whose estate there was great litigation in con- 
 nection with her bequest of nearly all her property to Cornell University. 
 He was a judge of solid legal attainments and his decisions gave him high 
 legal standing. He became the first Dean of the College of Law at Cornell, 
 in 1887, and remained in that position during the rest of his life. He was 
 also a trustee from 1875 until 1891, where he was greatly respected for his 
 good judgment and wise counsel. He was President of the First National 
 Bank for many years. After his death his widow, Mrs. Ellen Boardman, 
 and his widowed daughter, Mrs. Ellen Williams, purchased and presented 
 to the College of Law, the great law library of Nathaniel C. Moak, of Albany, 
 as a memorial to Judge Boardman.

 FINCH, FRANCIS MILES, LL.D Trustee, 1865-75, 1877-82. Born, June 
 9, 1827, at Ithaca, N. Y. He graduated at Yale CoUege in 1849, where 
 his class poem attracted considerable attention. He was admitted to the 
 bar in 1850 and practiced his profession in his native town. He, when a 
 a young lawyer, attracted attention to himself, by shrewdly insisting, as 
 junior counsel for the defence, in the trial of the celebrated Edward Ruloff 
 for the murder of his wife, that in order to convict his client the prosecution 
 must produce her body, it having been alleged that it was sunk in the bottom 
 of Cayuga Lake in a box filled with stones, and the argument saved his 
 client's life. His practice increased rapidly and he was sought after by 
 litigants and brother members of the bar for counsel, and there were few 
 cases of great importance in his part of the State in which he was not en- 
 gaged, on the one side or the other. He was Collector of Internal Revenue 
 for four years. A life-long friend of Ezra Cornell, he became his trusted 
 counsellor, and during the trying days of the organization and early days 
 of Cornell University his legal advice and judgment were always consulted. 
 He was a trustee from 1865 to 1875, and from 1877 to 1882. With his 
 trenchant pen, in both prose and verse, he refuted the slanders which as- 
 sailed the beloved founder, his friend, and when Ezra Cornell's son, Alonzo 
 B. Cornell, became Governor, he did not forget the faithful attorney, who 
 was otherwise in every respect qualified for the position, and appointed him 
 in May, 1880, Associate Judge of the New York Court of Appeals, to fill 
 a vacancy, for six months. In 1881 he was re-appointed to fill a vacancy, 
 for one year, and elected in the fall of 1881 for a full term of fourteen years, 
 and served until Dec. 31st, 1895. He became Director and Dean of the 
 Faculty of the College of Law, Cornell, in 1896, and served in that position 
 until his death. President of the New York State Bar Association, 1899. 
 Republican. Judge Finch's manner was one of unassuming modesty; 
 he was eloquent, yet not demonstrative; forcible and logical a model in 
 forensic disputations. Upon the benchhe never indulged in captious criti- 
 cisms of counsel to try to show superior legal wisdom. His poems treat 
 largely of college life, his "Smoking Song" being a great favorite, but the 
 one which brought to him the most fame was "The Blue and The Grey." 
 He has been called the only true poet of Yale. A busy professional life 
 took him from literature but he sometimes managed to take time for it. 
 His prose writings and public addresses are models of chaste and beautiful

 thought, and even in his written judicial opinions when on the bench the 
 literary style clung to him, making them more interesting reading than is 
 ordinarily the case. LL.D., Hamilton, 1885, Yale, 1892. 
 Died, July 30, 1907 at Ithaca, N. Y. 
 
 McGRAW, JOHN. Trustee, 1865-77. Born, May 22, 1815, at Dryden, N. Y. 
 Engaged in the lumber trade and removed to New Hudson, 1840, to New 
 York City, 1850, and to Ithaca, 1861; erected the McGraw Building of 
 the University, 1869-70. 
 Died, May 4, 1877, at Ithaca, N. Y. 
 
 SAGE, HENRY WILLIAMS. Trustee, 1870-1897. Born, Jan. 31, 1814, at 
 Middletown, Conn. He began as a clerk for his uncles, Williams Bros, of 
 Ithaca, and in 1837, succeeded to their business. Member of the New York 
 Assembly in 1847. He was a resident of Brooklyn from 1857 to 1877, where 
 he was a trustee of Plymouth Church, and a,friend of Henry Ward Beecher. 
 He became one of the largest land-owners in the State of Michigan. In 
 1854 he extended his business enterprises and built a lumber manufactory 
 on Lake Simcoe, Canada, and a few years later, with John McGraw, built 
 another at Winona, Michigan, which was at that time regarded as the 
 largest in the world. He also became the owner of extensive salt-works in 
 Michigan. A life-long friend of Ezra Cornell, he became deeply interested 
 in Cornell University, of which he was elected a trustee in 1870, which office 
 he held until bis death. He, desiring to afford to women the same oppor- 
 tunity for a liberal education as men, gave Sage College to Cornell, about 
 1873, at a cost of over $100,000, and endowed it with $150,000 more. He 
 soon afterwards gave Sage Chapel, which another member of his family 
 endowed with a preacher's fund, and where ministers of all demoninations 
 are invited to preach. He, during the pendency of the Fiske Will Suit, 
 offered to carry out the wishes of the testatrix, Jennie McGraw Fiske, by 
 advancing the money to build and endow a University Library Building, 
 the money to be considered a loan in case the University was successful, 
 otherwise to be a gift. The suit having terminated unsuccessfully for Cornell 
 University, at its dedication he gave the library building, together with an 
 endowment of $300,000. The building had cost $250,000 and this brought 
 his princely gifts up to and exceeding $1,000,000. He, as chairman of the 
 Board of Trustees, had great responsibilities, and as the funds amounted 
 to several million dollars, consisting largely of Western lands, his business 
 experience and sound judgment were of great value to the University. 
 He unselfishly gave a large part of his time from his vast private business 
 to the interests of the University, and it can never repay the debt of grat- 
 itude which it owes to his memory. Hia name will be forever associated 
 with those of Ezra Cornell, Andrew D. White, John McGraw, and Hiram 
 Sibley as the founders of Cornell University.
