WO colleges of the University 

have announced the creation of 

committees of the Faculty to 

meet with standing committees of the 

Board of Trustees for conference in 

matters affecting the respective colleges. 

This action was taken under the law 

which the Trustees and Faculty passed 

last year to give the Faculty a larger 

share in the government of the University. 

That law gave the University 

Faculty the right to name three delegates 

to sit with the Board, and it provided 

also for the creation by colleges 

of faculty committees of their own, to 

consist in each instance of the dean and 

two members chosen by the college 

faculty. Sibley College of Mechanical 

Engineering has appointed to its committee 

Professor D. S. Kimball and Professor 

Herman Diederichs. The College 

of Civil Engineering has appointed Professor 

H. S. Jacoby and Professor O. 

M. Leland. 

THE POWER of any conference committee 

is, by the terms of the legislation, 

to be determined by the faculty of 

its college. That is to say, the committee 

may, if the faculty choose, be 

ordered to serve for a definite term, or 

it may, if the faculty prefer, be constituted 

as any occasion for conference 

arises and only for that occasion. Sibley 

College, in announcing the creation of 

its committee, stated that Professor 

Kimball had been elected to serve for 

one year and Professor Diederichs for 

one semester, and that hereafter election 

would be for a single semester. The 

College of Civil Engineering did not 

announce a definition of its committee's 

power. The other colleges which have 

the right to appoint such committees 

are the colleges of law and architecture. 

The College of Arts and Sciences was 

invited to select so many similar committees 

as would adequately represent 

the different groups or departments of 

that college. 

FIFTY MEMBERS of the senior class in 

Sibley College have elected this year 

to take the optional course entitled Industrial 

Engineering. This enrollment 

is an increase of five over that of last 

year, when the course was offered for 

the first time. The purpose of this 

senior option is to prepare students more 

exactly for handling the commercial 

problems that are connected with design, 

construction or operation in engineering. 

Besides a course of lectures and draftingroom 

work on industrial subjects it includes 

several courses in economics and 

allied subjects. Since it was established, 

a two-hour course on safety engineering 

and fire protection has been added. A 

prerequisite to this senior option is an 

elementary course in industrial organization 

provided for the junior year of 

the college curriculum. This year about 

seventy-five men from outside Sibley 

College have elected that elementary 

course. 

THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY during the 

summer purchased from Mrs. Guiteau 

the insurance library of the late John 

Wilson Guiteau. Mr. Guiteau was the 

statistician of the New York Life Insurance 

Company for many years, and 

collected a library of about fifteen hundred 

volumes. This collection has now 

been incorporated in the University 

Library's own insurance collection. 

A SERIES of three concerts is announced 

by the University Orchestra. At each 

concert the orchestra will be assisted by 

a soloist or two—on November 11 by 

Albert Spaldίng, violinist, and Loretta 

Del Valle, soprano; on January 11 by 

Mme. Sonia Simitch, mezzo-soprano, 

and at the third concert, in March, by 

Mme. Alice Verlet, soprano. At trials 

held since the term began, more than 

twenty freshmen have qualified for 

membership in the orchestra. 

THE YALE PAGEANT, in commemoration 

of the two hundredth anniversary 

of the coming of Yale College to New 

Haven, was held in the Yale Bowl last 

Saturday. Episodes in the history of 

the college were depicted. The final 

scene, entitled "Yale, the mother of 

colleges and men," included symbolic 

figures of thirty colleges which Yale 

has been instrumental in founding. Each 

of these figures carried a model of a 

building representative of the particular 

college. One of the colleges thus symbolized 

was Cornell, whose first president 

was a graduate of Yale. Others 

were Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, 

Williams, and Hamilton. Several Cornell 

men attended the pageant as spectators 

in behalf of the committee on 

the Cornell semi-centennial. They included 

Colonel Henry W. Sackett *75, 

chairman; Professor Charles H. Hull 

'86, Professor John T. Parson, Professor 

E. Gorton Davis, Professor E. P. Andrews 

'95, Louis A. Fuertes '97, and 

J. Andre Smith '02. 

SECRETARY HITCHCOCK went to Nashville 

this week to attend the fifth annual 

meeting of the Association of Alumni 

Secretaries, to be held there on October 

26, 27, and 28. The hosts of the meeting 

are Vanderbilt University and Peabody 

College for Teachers. The association is 

divided into three sections, comprising 

respectively the larger institutions, the 

smaller colleges, and the state institutions. 

The chairman of the first section 

this year is the representative of Cornell. 

Conferences, to be led by various alumni 

secretaries, will consider the relation of 

alumni to various college problems. 

One of these conferences relates to the 

problem of student housing, and the 

reading of a paper on this topic has been 

assigned to Mr. Hitchcock. 

THE SEPTEMBER NUMBER of the Sibley 

Journal contains an illustrated article 

on "Mining the frozen gravels of the 

Arctic" by Dr. Henry M. Payne, who 

lectured on that subject here last year. 

Another article is "Industrial electric 

heating," by C. F. Hirshfeld, formerly 

professor of power engineering and now 

chief of the research department of the 

Detroit Edison Company. This number 

of the Journal contains a large number 

of employment notes. 

A TOURNAMENT has been conducted 

by the Cornell Chess Club to select five 

men who shall represent the club in a 

match with the Harvard Chess Club. 

The match will be played in Cambridge 

on Friday, the eve of the Harvard- 

Cornell football game. Stewart C. Wilson 

'17, of Indianapolis, has been elected 

president of the club. 

MEMBERS of last year's Student 

Council met this week to appoint days 

for the various class elections.

Scheme of a School of Commerce Adopted 

The Trustees Approve a Plan for a College of Business Administration and Public Affairs 

at Cornell University 

[At a meeting of the University Faculty, Wednesday of last week, October 18, the Secretary of the Faculty reported the receipt 

from the Board of Trustees of a copy of the "report of a committee appointed under authority of resolution of the Board of Trustees at 

their meeting held November 6 y 1915, to consider and report upon the establishment of a school of commerce at the University" 

That report was dated June 14, 1916. The Faculty was further informed that the Board, at its meeting of June 20, 1916, adopted 

the report and the recommendations therein. The text of the report is given below.—EDITOR.]

December before the members of all the The report of the faculty committee and that particular is really more a

matter of detail than substance. It is 

that in the conduct of the work of the 

college effort should be made, where 

practicable, to have definite subjects 

taught by natives of foreign countries 

and in the languages of those countries, 

so that students already presumably 

well grounded in such languages may 

have opportunity to perfect themselves 

in the actual use of them for practical 

commercial.purposes. 

Probably the most difficult point to 

be settled in connection with the establishment 

of such a school or college is 

as to whether it should take the form 

of an undergraduate college or that of 

a professional college of graduate or 

semi-graduate grade. The faculty committee 

recommend in their report a 

professional college of semi-graduate 

grade, offering courses two years in 

length and leading to a master's degree, 

such college to be so organized that its 

work could be joined to that of any of 

the undergraduate colleges of the University, 

and to be "open to (a) college 

graduates, (b) students who had completed 

three years of work in any of the 

undergraduate colleges of Cornell University 

or in other colleges of similar 

grade, and, under careful restrictions, 

to (c) a limited number of mature students 

with business experience, not 

candidates for a degree." It would seem 

that such a plan, which would really 

require "but one more year of preliminary 

work than the usual type of undergraduate 

school of commerce makes a 

prerequisite to its technical business 

subjects" (faculty report) would meet 

the objections that are made to strictly 

graduate schools, and at the same time 

offer a type of institution for the benefit 

of young men who are not dependent 

upon finding immediate paying positions, 

that is, not an institution to train clerks, 

but one to give men who have the opportunity 

of entering the business world 

upon a favorable basis, an education to 

enable them to do so. 

Your committee entertain the hope 

that it may be possible eventually, if 

not at the outset, to extend the scope 

of the proposed college to cover a field 

of the highest importance to this country 

from the patriotic standpoint, namely, 

the education of young men for the public 

service, municipal and state as well as 

national. The legal profession is now 

the principal gateway to public life. 

The past few years have witnessed a 

marked change in this country in the 

popular conception of the requirements 

and standards of public office and a 

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 39 

growing demand for better trained and 

more efficient types of office holders, 

and there is a continually increasing 

number of young men who are in a position 

to and who desire to educate themselves 

for a life work in the public service 

on a plane that will meet such conception 

and satisfy such demand. It may be 

Utopian to expect that a republican form 

of government can ever adapt itself to 

selections from such sources, but the 

tendency of the day seems to hold out 

hope that this may be. With this idea 

in mind your committee believe that 

the name of the proposed college should 

also be broadened so that it might be 

suggestive of such an extended field of 

usefulness, and that an appropriate 

name for such an institution would be 

"The College of Business Administration 

and Public Affairs at Cornell University." 

The plans for the proposed college 

should contemplate the eventual establishment 

of a library devoted to the 

collection, as rapidly as possible, of the 

extensive and growing bibliography connected 

with the work to be covered, 

and the erection of a building sufficient 

to house the college and the library. 

An additional important feature which 

might be hoped for in the future, but 

which is not essential to the establishment 

of the college or indeed to its 

successful operation, would be a commercial 

museum, modeled on the general 

lines of the great Philadelphia Commercial 

Museum, which is, your committee 

believe, now the only commercial 

museum in the United States. Similar 

museums are available to students in 

Germany and are helpful if founded and 

conducted on sufficiently broad lines, 

but the financial requirements of such 

a museum would probably be too great 

to warrant its consideration as an essential 

feature of the organization of 

the proposed college. 

Your committee recommend: 

1. That the committee of the University 

faculty, whose report is annexed, 

be requested to outline a definite curriculum 

for the proposed college and to 

make a careful estimate of the minimum 

annual increase which the establishment 

of such a college would make in the 

University budget. 

2. That, provided ways and means 

can be found to cover the financial requirements, 

a new college, to be known 

as "The College of Business Administration 

and Public Affairs at Cornell University," 

be organized as a college of 

semi-graduate grade, offering courses 

two years in length and leading to a 

master's degree, and so organized that 

its work may be joined to that of any 

of the undergraduate colleges of the 

University, and open to (a) college 

graduates, (b) students who have completed 

three years of work in any of the 

undergraduate colleges of Cornell University 

or in other colleges of similar 

grade, and, under careful restrictions, 

to (c) a limited number of mature students 

with business experience, not candidates 

for a degree. 

3. That the plans for such college be 

made sufficiently broad eventually to 

cover instruction in matters relating to 

preparation for the public service and 

to provide for the foundation of a library 

of commercial bibliography and for the 

erection of a building for the purposes 

of the college.

The University Scholarships 

Five of Them Won by Students From 

the Boys' High School of Brooklyn 

The eighteen University Scholarships 

have been awarded to members of the 

class of 1920. These scholarships pay 

$200 a year for two years. Thirteen 

schools are represented among the 

winners this year. All but one of these 

schools are in the State of New York, 

and all but four of them are in the City 

of New York. Every one of the five 

boroughs of that city is represented. 

Five of the prizes were won by graduates 

of the Boys' High School of Brooklyn. 

This is the eleventh time in twelve years 

that the honors in this competition have 

gone to that school. Two of the scholarships 

were won by students from the 

Morris High School (Bronx), New York. 

Following are the names of the winners: 

The Cornell Scholarships: James Raymond 

Wadsworth, Parish High School; Harry Kroin, 

Boys' High School, Brooklyn. 

The President White Scholarships: Hillel Poritsky, 

Morris High School (Bronx), New York; 

Russell Olin Hooker, Watertown High School. 

The Henry B. Lord Scholarships: Madeline Fay 

Gilmour, Rogers High School, Newport, R. I.; 

Sophie Dazian Worms, Flushing High School 

(Queens), New York. 

The McGraw Scholarships: Hyman Klein, 

Eastern District High School, Brooklyn; Samuel 

Feldman, Boys' High School, Brooklyn. 

The Sage Scholarships: Lansing Southwick 

Hoskins, Mynderse Academy, Seneca Falls, N. Y.; 

Arthur William Hatch, Morris High* School. 

The Sibley Scholarships: Solomon Schwartzreich, 

Stuyvesant High School, New York; Morris 

Berkowitz, Boys' High School, Brooklyn.


The Stewart L. Woodford Scholarships: Mark 

Cymrot, Boys' High School, Brooklyn; Samuel 

Engel, Newtown High School (Queens), New York. 

The John Stanton Gould Scholarships: Charles 

Eliot Rhodes, Boys' High School, Brooklyn; 

Joseph Nemser, DeWitt Clinton High School, 

New York. 

The Horace Greeley Scholarships: Howard 

Malmar, Richmond Hill High School (Queens), 

New York; Frederick R. M. Undritz, Curtis High 

School (Richmond), New York. 

One hundred and twenty-six members 

of the freshman class took the competitive 

examinations. The labor of computing 

the comparative standing of all 

these contestants kept two members of 

the mathematical faculty busy for two 

whole days. This computation is difficult 

because the contestants are not 

all examined in the same subjects. Every 

candidate is examined in three out of 

seven subjects—English, Greek, Latin, 

French, German, elementary mathematics, 

and advanced mathematics. 

Every one must take English and at 

least one of the other four languages, and 

any candidate who does not select either 

Latin or Greek must take advanced 

mathematics. How, then, measure the 

relative ability of a student who takes, 

for example, English, French, and Latin, 

and one who takes English, German, 

and advanced mathematics ? The problem 

is solved by computing from the 

marks given in English—the subject 

taken by every competitor—a modulus 

by means of which, for every competitor, 

the marks given in diverse subjects may 

be reduced to a common measure of 

value. 

Society of Civil Engineers 

Annual Meeting Held for the Election 

of Officers—865 Members Now 

The annual meeting of the Cornell 

Society of Civil Engineers was held at 

Stewart's Restaurant, 30 Park Place, 

New York, on Tuesday night, October 

17. Nearly a hundred civil engineers 

sat down to dinner at seven o'clock. At 

the business meeting which followed the 

dinner President Wait was in the chair. 

He made a few remarks covering the 

various activities of the year, and reports 

from committees were received. 

James W. Beardsley '91 was then introduced. 

He gave an interesting talk 

about the irrigation service in Porto 

Rico. Mr. Clogher of the Electric Bond 

& Share Company completed the program 

by exhibiting a large number of 

lantern slides giving some fine views of 

the hydro-electric power development 

which is under way in the territory about 

Salt Lake City. 

The report of the corresponding secre- 

tary shows a total membership of 865, 

of whom 277 are resident members living 

within a radius of fifty miles of the New

ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS 

SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 

The second meeting and dinner of 

the newly organized association of Cornell 

men in Springfield and vicinity was 

held at the Hotel Worthy, Springfield, 

Mass., on October 9. About thirty 

enthusiastic graduates were present and 

took steps toward the formation of a 

permanent organization. 

Walter Mulligan '98 was in charge of 

the arrangements, Charles E. Torrance 

'09 presided at the piano, and Linton 

Hart '14 engineered the songs. After 

the dinner a three-man minstrel show 

speeded things up for a half-hour, and 

then the crowd attended to business. 

It was found that there were probably 

seventy-five Cornell men in Springfield 

and Holyoke alone, and it was resolved 

to include in the organization's mailing 

list all Cornell men in Western Massachusetts 

and vicinity. They are requested 

to forward their addresses. 

Officers for the ensuing year were 

elected, as follows: President, C. H. 

Davidson Ίl, in care of Fred T. Ley & 

Co., Springfield; vice-president, Sidney 

E. Whiting '98, Holyoke; secretary and 

treasurer, Norman E. Hildreth '09, 

Springfield. A committee on organization 

was elected, consisting of C. M. 

French '09, C. E. Torrance '09, and 

John J. McCormick '13. 

It was decided to hold the next meeting 

at the Nonotuck Hotel in Holyoke, 

some time in November. Notice of the 

date will be published in the ALUMNI 

NEWS, and all Cornell men in the vicinity 

are cordially urged to be present. 

Practically all the men at the meeting 

signified their intention of attending 

the Harvard-Cornell celebration at Boston 

on the 28th.

MINNESOTA 

An error crept into the list of alumni 

associations as published in the NEWS 

this fall, under the head of Minnesota. 

The organization known as the Minnesota 

Cornell Alumni Association takes 

in Minnesota, North and South Dakota 

and Northern Wisconsin. The association 

is divided into the Cornell Clubs of

CHICAGO 1912 MEN SAVING UP 

The men of the Class of 1912 living 

in Chicago and Milwaukee are already 

planning for their five-year reunion 

next June. A series of three banquets 

will be held in Chicago, including the 

Milwaukee men, one this fall, another 

in January, and the last in May. Circulars 

and letters have been sent to 

all the 1912 men in Chicago, who number 

44, and to their classmates in Milwaukee. 

The class is going to inaugurate 

"The Cornell 1912 Reunion Fund." 

Each member opens a savings account 

in a certain bank in Chicago, in which 

each month he deposits $10. In June 

he will have $80 in his fund, enough 

to cover expenses to Ithaca and back. 

Those who cannot get to Ithaca in June 

will be entitled to withdraw the principal 

and use it for their own purposes, 

but with money on hand the class expects 

to send down a large delegation. 

The first banquet will be held on Oct. 28. 

STEWART C. WILSON '17, of Indianapolis, 

has been elected manager of the 

Cornell Navy, succeeding Walter F. 

Beachy, of Oak Park, 111., who did not 

return to the University this fall. Wilson 

is a member of Sigma Chi. 

THE ELECTION of John Emmett 

O'Brien '17 (A.B., Ί5), of Shortsville, 

to the office of business manager, is announced 

by the Cornell Law Quarterly. 


OBITUARY 

W. R. Lazenby '74 

William Rane Lazenby, professor of 

forestry in Ohio State University, died 

at Columbus on September 14 of pneumonia. 

Professor Lazenby was born 

in Yates County, N. Y., December 5, 

1850. He entered Cornell University 

in 1869 and graduated in 1874 with 

the degree of Bachelor of Agriculture. 

From then until 1881 he was instructor 

and assistant professor of botany and 

horticulture at Cornell. In 1881 he was 

appointed to a professorship in the 

same subjects in Ohio State University. 

Since 1910 his title had been professor 

of forestry. 

Professor Lazenby had published 

much on the subjects which he taught. 

He spent many of his summer vacations 

in studying horticulture and forestry in 

Europe. He was a fellow of the American 

Association for the Advancement of 

Science, a founder and past president 

of the Ohio Academy of Science, and a 

life member of the American Pomologϊcal 

Association .and the American Forestry 

Society. His wife and a daughter, 

who is a student in Smith College, 

survive him. 

A memorial service was held at Ohio 

State University a few days ago. At 

that service an appreciation of Professor 

Lazenby, written by his classmate Professor 

J. H. Comstock, was read. It 

reviewed Lazenby's struggle to support 

himself by labor during his college course, 

and spoke of him as the virtual founder 

of the horticultural department at Cornell. 

It continued: 

"He showed early the public spirit 

that was so strikingly characteristic of 

his life. I remember an example of this, 

which occurred, I believe, in his sophomore 

year. Although the University 

encouraged students of limited means 

to come and support themselves while 

carrying on their studies, there was at 

that time no organized means provided 

for furnishing such students with labor. 

Lazenby had no trouble in finding work 

for himself, but there were others that 

were less resourceful. To aid these he 

called the laboring students together 

and organized an employment bureau. 

This was one of many instances where 

he showed himself willing to devote 

himself to matters of public interest. 

He took a prominent part in one of the 

literary societies of that day and in a 

social science club. 

"Lazenby was a great favorite with 

his fellow students. His genial good 

nature, his unselfishness, and his great 

earnestness won the hearts of those 

associated with him. 

"He was devotedly interested in the 

cause of agriculture, and took a prominent 

part in the work of the Grange 

and of agricultural and horticultural 

societies. He was the instrument of 

profoundly influencing the development 

of the agricultural work at Cornell 

University. This was before an interest 

in agricultural education had become 

general. The University endeavored to 

create such an interest by offering free 

tuition to agricultural students and in 

other ways, but comparatively few agricultural 

students came. Certain 

friends of agriculture, judging merely 

by the small number of agricultural 

students, came to believe that the University 

was betraying its trust, and there 

were introduced in a meeting of the 

State Grange resolutions condemning 

the University. These resolutions were 

about to be passed when Lazenby arose 

and, without attempting to refute the 

arguments that had been made, suggested 

that the right thing to do was to 

postpone action on the resolutions and 

to appoint a committee to investigate 

the agricultural work of the University. 

The justice of this position was recognized 

by the Grange, and a committee 

was appointed. The members of this 

committee came to Ithaca pronounced 

enemies of the University, they made a 

thorough investigation, and went away 

warm friends. I have often heard 

President White say that he believed 

that the quiet and tactful action of the 

young Instructor, Lazenby, saved the 

day for our College of Agriculture. 

From that time to the present, one of 

the most powerful influences favoring 

the development of this institution has 

been the support extended to it by the 

Grange. 

"Later Professor Lazenby took a 

prominent part in the movement that 

resulted in the establishment of the 

Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva, 

New York. In fact I am told 

that he drafted the bill the passage of 

which by our State Legislature established 

this station." 

Alvin A. Jagger '15 

Alvin Austin Jagger, a graduate of 

the College of Agriculture in the class 

of 1915, was instantly killed in an automobile 

accident near Rochester, N. Y., 

on September 27. 

THE REV. CHARLES ' A. EATON, of 

New York, will preach in Sage Chapel 

on October 29.

ITHACA, NEW YORK, OCTOBER 26, 1916 

O a person who knows the narrow 

quarters occupied by the Cornell 

Co-operative Society, the amount 

of business which that enterprising institution 

does is amazing. The society 

has never been able to obtain better 

quarters on the Campus than the small 

rooms in the basement of Morrill Hall 

where it has been cooped for about 

twenty years. The total standing room 

for customers is about one hundred and 

ninety square feet. Yet on many days 

three thousand customers are served. 

The greatest number of individual customers 

that entered the store and made 

purchases on a single day last year was 

3,873. No wonder the society declares 

that, in spite of whatever improvements 

it may make in equipment and organization, 

it is unable to serve such numbers 

acceptably in its present quarters. The 

society does the largest business of all 

the university stores in this country 

with a single exception, yet it has about 

the least room of them all. One must 

regret that an organization of members 

of the University which renders so great 

a service to the community as the Cooperative 

does should have met with so 

little encouragement in its efforts to 

improve that service. The necessity of 

properly housing such an institution on 

our Campus, far removed as the Campus 

is from the business center of the town, 

is scarcely open to question. 

THE REPORT of the Trustees' committee 

which considered the establishment 

of a school of commerce at this 

University is published in this number. 

It is worth reading. It contains among 

its ideas one that points to a way in 

which the University may render a particular 

service to the public, namely, by 

providing, in a professional school., instruction 

intended to prepare young men 

for the duties of public office. In its 

consideration of the need of such instruction, 

the committee makes some 

interesting observations of present political 

tendencies in this country. 

THE SCHOOL of business administration 

should, the committee says, have 

endowment enough to provide for a 

building of its own. This raises a question 

which is likely some day to become 

pressing: Where shall future halls of 

instruction be placed on our Campus ? 

Already the Campus is too large for 

convenience. New departments are sure 

to be established. Under the elective 

system of studies it is necessary that 

halls of instruction be as near as possible 

to one another. The suggestion is heard 

more and more that the University must 

in time reconcile itself to the necessity 

of placing buildings in the large quadrangle. 

The same proposal was made 

about fifteen years ago and aroused 

emphatic opposition, but at that time 

the need was less apparent. The proposal 

will recur, and the University 

might as well be thinking about it. 

What has been suggested is to place 

blocks of buildings across the quadrangle, 

when that becomes necessary, in such a 

way as to divide the large space into 

three quadrangles, a large one in the 

middle opposite the portico of Goldwin 

Smith Hall, and two smaller ones on 

either side, facing Boardman and Sibley 

respectively. Buildings devoted to instruction 

could be concentrated in that 

way, it is asserted, and architectural 

effects might be obtained even more 

pleasing than is possible with so large a 

central quadrangle as ours. 

A CORNELL PRESS NEEDED 

Theodore Stanton '74 writes us: 

"Apropos of the articles which you 

published last summer by Professor 

Lane Cooper and myself concerning 

the need of a Cornell University Press, 

let me call your attention to what met 

my eye in the advertising pages of the 

Yale Review, when I opened the October 

number of that excellent periodical. 

Under the autumn announcements of 

the Yale University Press, I read: 'Cornell 

Studies in English. The Yale 

University Press takes pleasure in announcing 

that it has been authorized 

to publish for Cornell University the 

"Cornell Studies in English." Inquires 

concerning the Series and orders therefor 

may be addressed to either the New 

Haven or New York office of the Yale 

University Press.' Isn't there something 

humiliating to Cornell men when 

they read such a notice as this ? It 

seems to me so." 

RECEPTION TO JORDAN '72 

A dinner was given in honor of David 

Starr Jordan '72 at Billings, Mont., on 

October 10 by alumni of Cornell and 

Stanford Universities. Cornellians present 

were Mrs. David Roe (Nina Angell) 

and Mr. Roe; M. B. Gray and Mrs. 

Gray; W. W. Gail and Mrs. Gail, and 

E. M. Sneckenberger, all of Billings. 

In introducing Dr. Jordan, Mr. Gail 

said: 

"It was forty-four years ago that Dr. 

Jordan received his diploma from Cornell, 

and though he has since labored 

in other fields and become identified 

in the mind of the world with that 

great institution on the Pacific coast, 

Leland Stanford Junior University, of 

which, after twenty years as president, 

he is now chancellor emeritus, we of 

Cornell still claim him affectionately 

and jealously as our own. 

"There is a reason for that which is 

of peculiar interest to Billings and this 

vast, almost virgin country which we 

call the Midland Empire. When Ezra 

Cornell founded the university which 

bears his name he said: Ί would found 

an institution where any person may 

find instruction in any study.' In that 

motto lay the cornerstone of a new 

era in American higher education, an 

era in which should be opened to the 

many the doors of educational opportunity 

that therefotore had been open 

only to the few. 

"That Stanford typifies today the 

most advanced ideals of modern education 

is a tribute to Dr. Jordan's

genius as teacher, administrator and 

moral leader. Yet I am sure I do no 

injustice to say that in the final analysis 

it stands as another monument to the 

new vision of education whose seed 

first found root on the rugged shores 

of Lake Cayuga half a century ago. 

"I mention these things because of 

their significance to us here in Billings. 

We too have an institution founded on 

the principle of democracy and service, 

and I feel that it requires no gift of 

prophecy to foretell that our own 

Polytechnic, which stands now a struggling 

little college beneath the shelter 

of the rimrocks, will some day be to 

this great inter-mountain region what 

Cornell has been to the east and Stanford 

to the far west." 

DOWN-TOWN NEW YORK 

LUNCHEONS 

The weekly luncheons of Cornell men 

in New York City are held Wednesdays 

at the Machinery Club, 50 Church Street. 

Although the attendance was not large 

during the summer, renewed interest 

is now shown. It is hoped that more 

Cornell men will avail themselves of 

this opportunity for social intercourse. 

It is not, however, possible to reach or 

remind them all by mail. The committee 

would be pleased to see the table filled 

every Wednesday. Most of the fellows 

appear about one o'clock. 

SENDS NEW AGENT TO ITHACA 

Announcement has been made by the 

Lehigh Valley Railroad Company of 

the establishment in Ithaca of the headquarters 

of N. W. Pringle, division passenger 

agent. Mr. Pringle will be associated 

with Paul S. Millspaugh, assistant 

general passenger agent at Buffalo, in 

the handling of the passenger business 

of the Lehigh Valley in New York State. 

The company's announcement of this 

change notes also the resignation of 

Frank H. Wingert, who gave up the 

office of traveling passenger agent at 

Ithaca and is now associated with the 

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS. "His resignation 

was a matter of regret to the railroad 

management," the announcement 

says. Mr. Pringle, the new officer at 

Ithaca, was formerly New England 

passenger agent of the Lehigh Valley, 

with headquarters in New Haven. 

A MILITARY HOP will be held in the 

Armory on November 10, the eve of 

the Michigan game, after the concert 

of the musical clubs. 


Proposed Amendments 

Changes in By-Laws of the Associate 

Alumni to Be Voted On October 28 

At the adjourned annual meeting of 

the general alumni association, to be 

held in Boston on October 28, amendments 

to the by-laws will be considered 

which propose to effect certain changes, 

as published duly, in conformity with 

the requirements of the by-laws, in the 

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS of October 5, 

four issues in advance of the meeting, 

and as also published in the report of 

the annual meeting in the issue of July, 

1916, page 464. 

To effect these proposed changes the 

following amendments are necessary, 

and are therefore offered under the five 

heads submitted in previous issues when 

publishing notice of the changes, as 

follows: 

(1) The omission of representation of 

university classes requires amendments 

to Sections 25, 27, 28, 30, and 33. 

(2) The transforming of the forum 

into the more enjoyable convention 

necessitates changes in Sections 16, 17, 

24, 28, 28a, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 38, and 40. 

(3) Holding the convention not 

oftener than once in three years changes 

only Section 29. 

(4) The same section is amended to 

give more latitude in the choice of 

weather and popular outside events. 

(5) Giving the Board of Directors a 

greater choice in dates for their fall meeting 

requires change in only Section 6. 

(6) The omission of Section 25 compels 

the renumbering of Sections 26, 27, 

28, and 28a, as Sections 25, 26, 27, 

and 28. 

The text was published in the NEWS 

of October 19, 1916. 

The Co-op Dividend 

The report of the president of the 

Cornell Co-operative Society, Professor 

John S. Shearer, for this year, says: 

"In accordance with its usual custom, 

the Cornell Co-operative Society reports 

at this time to the University 

public upon the business of the past 

year. The total or gross receipts of 

the society for the year ending April 

1st were $177,500, including post office 

and other accommodation or no-profit 

business. In spite of the unfavorable 

conditions in many lines of trade, the 

directors were able to declare a dividend 

of eight per cent on registered purchases, 

as in previous years. This amounts to 

about $7,000 and will be paid November 

first to eighteenth."

The senior societies on Tuesday of 

this week extended bids to members of 

the class of 1917. In the elections last 

spring Sphinx Head took in twelve men

Many Changes in the Team 

In an attempt to remedy the weakness 

of the football team with respect to 

the ends, the coaches last week made 

some experiments in a rearrangement of 

the players. These changes were made 

only two days before the Bucknell game, 

and the team had not adjusted itself 

to them when it entered the game. The 

work of the line especially was below 

standard. 

Two new men were put into the wing 

positions—Gillies and Tilley. Gillies 

was taken from tackle, where he played 

regularly all last season. Nothing less 

than poverty of end material could have 

persuaded the coaches to shift this 

player. And yet, in playing his part 

in the line, he had shown some of the 

qualities that go to make a good end. 

He combines speed with weight, and his 

keenness in following the ball and alacrity 

in getting over the field in the early 

games of this season had made up for 

some of the uncertainty resulting from 

the lack of experienced ends. Gillies, 

therefore, was moved out to left end. 

At right end was placed Clarence 

Tilley, a senior who had played left 

tackle throughout the Pennsylvania 

game last year, having taken the place 

of Jameson when that player was disabled. 

In earlier games last year Tilley 

had been a substitute for Anderson at 

guard. It is said that the coaches had 

planned to put Tilley at center this season, 

but he was late in returning to the 

University, and by the time he did report 

there was apparently more need of a 

new end than of a new center. Tilley 

is of stocky build, physically a man of 

the OΉearn type. He played only the 

first period of the Bucknell game. 

Sutton, a sophomore, took the place 

of Gillies at left tackle, and there were 

other substitutions in the line. Taylor, 

the regular substitute at left guard, 

played instead of Miller, who was 

laid off on account of a minor injury. 

Carry was at center in place of Brown. 

The only regular forwards who started 

the game were Anderson, right guard, 

DR. SHARPE AND A GROUP OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS 

The white stockings indicate that most of the men in this group are substitutes or would-be substitutes. 

At the right end of the picture, in red-and-white stockings, are Shiverick and Captain 

Mueller. The captain is the taller of the two. Photograph by J. P. Troy 

and Jewett, right tackle. All the backfield 

regulars were in except Benedict, 

whom an injury kept on the bench, 

and Bretz, freshman captain last year, 

was in his place. In the early part of 

the Bucknell game things went as might 

have been expected, with such a remade 

team. For one thing, Tilley was not 

familiar with the signals. The line 

seemed unable to do its part in the 

offense, and as a defensive line it left 

more than was right for the secondary 

defense to do. It had rained all the 

day before and the soft ground made 

the interference slow in starting, with 

the result that when the offense reached 

the line of scrimmage any hole that 

might have been there was generally 

plugged. Off-tackle plays yielded disappointing 

results because Bucknell 

had prepared a special defense for them 

which was too much for the new Cornell 

ends. Cornell would have played the 

first half without a score but for a 

beautiful drop-kick by Shiverick from 

the 45-yard line. 

Substitutions began, however, to restore 

the team to something like its 

former estate. Zander and Ryerson 

went in at the ends, Gillies returned to 

his old place at tackle, and Brown displaced 

Carry at center. These changes 

had an encouraging effect by showing 

how much progress had been made by 

Zander and Ryerson in end-play. Either 

of these men weighs less than 170 

pounds, and their light weight is one 

reason why other men have been preferred 

to them. In addition, Zander 

has been deprived of practice this season 

by an injury which occurred in the first 

week of training. But they both helped 

materially to turn the tide against 

Bucknell. After a safe score was tucked 

away by Cornell, two other ends, Hoff 

and Ensworth, had a trial. 

The result of all this experiment was 

to leave the situation still doubtful with 

respect to the ends and the line. If 

the experiment had pointed out to the 

coaches the way to a solution of their 

problem before the Harvard game, the 

solution was not apparent to the man 

in the stands. 

Two substitute backs made a good 

showing—Bretz and VanHorn. Van 

Horn took Bretz's place late in the game, 

in time to make one of the touchdowns, 

in making which he gave a pretty exhibition 

of low and fast running through 

a hole in the line. 

Cornell 19, Bucknell 0 

In the first period Bucknell defended 

the south goal and had the advantage 

of the wind. Both sides fumbled badly 

for a while. Meanwhile Cornell gained 

on exchanges of punts, and the playing 

was in Bucknell territory when the first 

period ended without a score. In the 

second period Cornell began an attack 

from midfield which carried the ball to 

a first down on BucknelΓs 35-yard line. 

Then a 15-yard penalty put it back to 

midfield. Shiverick regained the fifteen

yards in one play, and then, standing 

on BucknelΓs 45-yard line, he made a 

drop-kick for a field goal. In the second 

period Shiverick and Bretz did some 

effective work and advanced to BucknelΓs 

25-yard line, where the visitors 

held for downs. Cornell was threatening 

the Bucknell goal again when the 

first half ended. Score: Cornell, 3; 

Bucknell, 0. 

The home team put on considerable 

steam for the second half, and twice as 

many plays were made in this half as 

in the first. The result was two touchdowns. 

But the first score of the half 

was a safety. Bucknell kicked off, 

Hoffman made a run-back of twentyfive 

yards, and then Shiverick sent off 

a beautiful punt which rolled to BucknelΓs 

six-yard line. The return punt 

was blocked for a safety. The Cornell 

team pulled itself together about this 

time and earned a touchdown with real 

football. Then another touchdown was 

obtained, partly with the help of two 

penalties inflicted on the visitors. Sixteen 

of Cornell's nineteen points were 

made in the third period of the game. 

It is a curious fact that Cornell scored 

against Bucknell in every way possible 

in football. The line-up:

A. B. Trowbridge, jr., Flushing; and 

L. von Heygendorff, New York. 

Shuler has been elected captain. He 

is a brother of Charles Shuler '15, and

D. F. Taber '15 is the coach of the 

freshman squad. 

Crpss-Country 

Seven men have been selected by 

Coach Moakley for the cross-country 

training table. They are Boynton '17, 

Campbell '18, Dresser '19, Maynard '18, 

McDermott '19, Wenz '18, and Captain 

Windnagle '17. These men will get 

luncheon and dinner at the cafeteria 

of the department of home economics. 

The selection of these men was made 

after a trial run held last Saturday over 

the four-mile course. Twenty runners 

were timed, as follows: 1, Wenz, 23:27; 

2, Dresser, 23:33; 3, McDermott, 24:02; 

4, Windnagle, 24:14; 5, Campbell, 

24:14 2-5; 6, Boynton, 24:51; 7, Maynard, 

24:57; 8, Yost, 25:03; 9, Speer, 

25:22; 10, Hooker, 25:36; 11, Seelbach, 

25:41; 12, Tinnerholm, 25:41^; 13, 

Eschweiler, 25:46; 14, Dawson, 25:51; 

15, Fernschild, 26:11; 16, Ball, 26:37; 

17, Davidson, 27:05; 18, Mason, 27:07; 

19, Haines, 27:41; 20, Robertson, 28:00. 

The cross-country team has seldom 

lost in one year so many excellent runners 

as Potter, Hoffmire, Corwith, Eldred, 

and Tinkham, who all ran last 

fall. In addition to that fact, the squad 

this year is uncommonly small. There 

are twenty-two men out at present— 

the twenty who ran last Saturday and 

two others who have shown promise. 

The dual meet with Harvard comes to 

Ithaca on November 4, the Pennsylvania 

meet will take place at Philadelphia on 

the 11th, and two weeks after that will 

be the intercollegiate event. 

Rowing 

Candidates for the crews have taken 

advantage of every opportunity afforded 

by the weather and by their schedules 

to get practice on the water since the 

term began. John Collyer, assistant 

coach, has had active charge of the 

practice, and Mr. Courtney is acting as 

advisory coach. Saturday afternoons 

have seen as many as three varsity and 

two freshman combinations setting out 

from the boathouse. 

Four Men Barred From Athletics 

Eckley, Clary, Valentine, and Wolford 

Found Technically Ineligible 

Four students have been debarred, 

under the eligibility rules of the Faculty 

governing student organizations, as those 

rules stand at present, from future 

participation in intercollegiate athletic 

contests. The offense with which they 

were charged was the violation of Rule 

II c as applied to summer baseball. 

The four students are Paul W. Eckley 

'17, of New Kensington, Pa., who played 

right end on the varsity eleven and 

shortstop on the varsity nine last year; 

Francis J. Clary '17, of Seneca Falls, 

N. Y., catcher and captain-elect of the 

varsity nine; A. I. G. Valentine '18, 

of Chicago, outfielder on the varsity 

nine, and C. C. Wolford '17, of Ithaca, 

who was a baseball substitute. 

The rule which had been framed and 

adopted by the Committee on Student 

Affairs to prohibit summer baseball reads: 

II. Intercollegiate Athletic Contests in General—No 

person shall represent the University 

in any intercollegiate athletic contest either at 

home, or abroad: * * * 

c. If he receives or has ever received any remuneration 

or consideration of any sort for his 

services in any branch, as performer, player, coach, 

or otherwise, apart from such necessary expenses 

in excess of ordinary expenses as are actually 

incurred by him as a member of a college team, 

or of a permanent amateur organization in con^ 

nection with occasional amateur contests. 

[Note—In applying Rule (II), c, to baseball, 

any person who plays under a name other than 

his own, or who plays in a contest at which admission 

is charged, except as a member of a school 

or college team, shall be conclusively presumed 

to have violated this Rule.] 

In every one of the four cases the student 

was presumed to have violated the 

above rule because he had played, during 

the last summer, in baseball games 

at which admission was charged. Clary 

and Valentine, while attending the summer 

session of the University, and Wolford, 

a resident of Ithaca, played in a 

series of games among companies of the 

Ithaca Fire Department. At those 

games admission was charged and the 

receipts went to the department. Eckley 

worked for a company in his home town 

during the summer and played on a 

baseball team composed of employees 

of the company, in a series of games at 

which an admission fee was charged for 

the benefit, it is said, of a ''welfare 

work" carried on by the company. 

In none of the four cases is it charged 

that the player received any remuneration 

for his playing. Ih each case the 

offense was the playing in a contest at 

which admission was -charged. The 

intent of the faculty rule against such


playing was to prohibit "summer baseball," 

that is, as commonly understood, 

the participation by college athletes 

in professional or semi-professional 

games in the summer vacation. 

The cases of Clary, Valentine, and 

Wolford came to the notice of the Athletic 

Council through the Ithaca newspapers, 

which published their names 

as members of fire company teams. 

Eckley himself wrote to Dr. Sharpe, 

before the University reopened, telling 

the circumstances of his playing in the 

summer and asking if it was true, as 

he had heard, that he had violated an 

eligibility rule. Dr. Sharpe passed the 

query on to Professor Diederichs, president 

of the Athletic Council, who informed 

him that if the circumstances 

were as related, Eckley had made himself 

ineligible to further participation in 

university athletics. 

The Athletic Council having declared 

the four men ineligible under the rule 

quoted above, Valentine and Eckley 

appealed from the decision to the Committee 

on Student Affairs. Clary and 

Wolford did not appeal. It is said that 

Clary had been warned, in writing, by 

the Athletic Council, against violating 

this rule, when an Ithaca newspaper 

announced in the summer of 1915 that 

he was expected to play in a summer 

team at Waterloo, N. Y., and that he 

heeded the warning at that time. It 

is said that Clary received a similar 

warning early last summer, when the 

announcement was made that he was 

to play in a fire company team. 

The Committee on Student Affairs 

denied the petitions of Valentine and 

Eckley, because the violation of the rule 

was admitted and the committee had 

no power to set the rule aside in individual 

cases. The application of the 

rule has resulted in debarring Eckley 

from the football team, where he played 

right end all last season. 

It was apparent to the Committee 

on Student Affairs, especially in the 

case of Eckley, that Rule II c is so 

framed that no distinction can be made 

between real offenses against the amateur 

code and trivial violations of the letter 

of the rule. A doubt was raised whether 

a participant in a baseball game at 

which an admission fee is charged thereby 

in any circumstances makes himself 

unfit for college athletics. The committee 

appointed a sub-committee to 

frame and report a revision of the rule 

so as to provide a better definition of 

"summer baseball," without relaxing 

the purpose of the rule.
