Reunions are Near

Twenty-one Classes Scheduled for Return to

the University Campus on

June iγ, 18 and ig

The classes are laying their plans forthe reunions next month. The dates areFriday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 17,18, and 19, and the usual cross section ofthe alumni body is expected, with oldgrads ranging in ages all the way fromthe men and women of the early seventies,down to the young folks of the Classof '30.

The class reunions this year, as in thepast, will follow both schedules, the oldfive-year plan and the Dix Plan. Underthe Dix Plan, which brings back classeswhich were contemporary in college,are scheduled '81, '8i, '83, '84; Όo, '01,Όi, '03; and '19, '2.0, '2.1, and 'zx. Thequinquennial reunions are '7X5 '77, '87,'92., '07, '12., '17, and '17, with '30 cele-brating its second anniversary. Otherclasses will be back informally, including'73, which has not missed a reunionsince 1874.

The returning alumni will again livein the University dormitories, followingthe custom of the last eight or ten years.It is generally felt that the dormitoryidea for reunions is the one best contri-bution which has been made to theirsuccess. All members of reunion classescan be assured of accommodations, andthe alumni office is not concerned over itsinability to take care of any others whomay plan to return. Those whose accom-modations are not being taken care of bytheir class officers should communicatewith the alumni representative, FosterM. Coffin Ί i , at Willard Straight Hall.

The formal program lists items ofgeneral interest. Individual classes willbe making their own plans to supplementthese events. It is fully realized that notthe least of the attractions of coming backto Cornell in June are those opportunitiesfor informal visits with professors andother old friends. With this thought inmind, many of the colleges are planninginformal receptions for the alumni, onFriday afternoon. The college committeesare working on this program at thepresent time, and will soon be ready tomake a definite announcement of theprograms.

Myron Taylor Hall, the new law build-ing, is now completed and will be usedthis summer by the Law School students.The building will be open during reuniontime to all alumni and the Faculty isplanning to hold a reception for the lawalumni on Friday afternoon.

Special events of the weekend will in-clude President Farrand's annual talk tothe alumni, at the meeting of the AlumniCorporation on Saturday morning; thesenior and alumni singing on the steps ofGoldwin Smith on Friday evening; thetwo luncheons in the Drill Hall, Fridayand Saturday; the performances of theDramatic Club and Musical Clubs. Theseand many other events will lead up tothe climax on Saturday night. At thattime the Class of '17 will play the hostat the Rally in Bailey Hall.

Many of the alumni will stay on afterthat busy Friday and Saturday, to findon Sunday those real enjoyments whichare not possible when the crowd isthickest and the schedule heavy.

The railroads are cooperating againthis year. All alumni and members oftheir families, whether or not theirclasses are scheduled for reunion, areeligible for the reduced rates. Whentransportation to Ithaca is purchased,full fare will be paid, but a "conventioncertificate" must be secured from thelocal railroad office. When that certificateis presented at the Drill Hall in Ithaca,return transportation will be sold at halfprice.

For those alumni who cannot leavetheir home towns until Friday noon, aspecial rate is available provided theyare coming from the territory roughlybounded by Chicago, Albany, NewYork, and Washington. The railroadsare offering a special weekend rate, with45 per cent reduction from the usualround trip fare. Alumni taking advantageof this special rate should consult theirlocal ticket offices.

Alumni who are coming back, or whomay come back, should tell their classofficers or the alumni representative inIthaca, as soon as possible. That willhelp in making arrangements, but if alast minute stroke of good fortune makesit possible to get the train at the lastminute, such arrivals will all be wel-comed and provided for.

Fund Campaign Ends

Seventy-seven Per Cent of Senior Class

Subscribes to Memorial—Total

Subscriptions Over 6s 0

Seventy-seven per cent of the seniorclass subscribed to the 1931 Class Mem-orial Fund. The campaign for subscrip-tions closed May 18, with a total nineper cent lower than that subscribed ayear ago.

The campaign was marked by theemphasis placed upon the number of sub-scribers rather than amounts individuallysubscribed. When final reports wereturned in the total number of subscrip-tions had passed the 650 mark.

Another feature was the large numberof gifts for amounts larger than theaverage sum. Many seniors donated $10and $15 and one woman student sub-scribed $100.

The women's team captained by RuthH. Wilson '31, Warwick, led in percent-age with 93.

The men's teams were led by the groupcaptained by Frederick I. Biggs '31,Trumansburg.

• Returns are still being received fromseniors who graduated in February.

Other team captains in the drive wereRichard S. Stewart '32., Warren, Pa.;Joseph M. Youmans '31, Ithaca; HoraceH. Chandler '32., Maple wood, N. J.;Richard R. Brainard '31, Newfield;Frederick P. Frantz '31, Williamsport,Pa.; Theodore E. Weissinger '32., Buffalo;Alice R. Avery '31, Tottenville; andSelma Fine '32., New York.

WENDNAGEL HEADS COUNCILFrederick W. Wendnagel '33, Chicago,

111., was elected president of the Inter-fraternity Council May 17. Frederick B.Hufnagel, Jr., '33, Sewickley, Pa., waselected vice-president, and William R.Robertson '34, Syracuse, secretary-treas-urer.

Virtually the same rushing rules en-forced this year were adopted for thecoming year. Rushing will begin at 8a.m. the first registration day, continuinguntil 9:30 p.m. the same day. Pledgingwill not begin until Wednesday of regis-tration week.

ATHLETICS

YALE WINS BY THREE FEET

Victor by a stroke and one-fifth of asecond, Yale's varsity crew defeated Cor-nell in the feature race of the annual Car-negie Cup regatta on Cayuga Lake May2.1. Princeton finished third, nearly threelengths behind.

It was a slashing boat race, with Cor-nell closing up a full length in the finalhalf-mile and losing by a margin so closethat none but the judges knew the result.Two powerful eights battled that lasthalf-mile, with Cornelldisplaying mightypower in the final drive. With both crewshitting 40 strokes per minute in the lastfifty yards, Yale beat Cornell to the tellingstroke, and the Eli shell leaped over thefinish line about three feet ahead.

Yale took major honors by capturingthe freshman race in the same fashion.The Eli yearlings won by one-fifth of asecond in a duel that lasted from start tofinish, with both eights on even termsvirtually all the way down the two-milecourse. Princeton again was distanced.

Cornell captured the junior varsity racein more decisive manner, fashioning a fulllength lead over Yale, with Princetonnearly two lengths behind the Elis inthird place.

Yale's victory in the varsity wasachieved in record time—10:31—for theCarnegie Cup regatta. Cornell was clockedin 10:31.x, and Princeton in 10:37.

The times of the other races :

Junior varsity: Cornell, 10:32.; Yale,10:35.6; Princeton, 10:40.4.

Freshman: Yale, 10:31.5; Cornell,10:32.7; Fήnceton, 10:37.

A stiff northwest breeze bore down thecourse when the freshman eights started.The water tended to choppiness as RefereeCy Thurston of Syracuse sent them away.Princeton, rowing fast, with a short, up-right swing, jumped into the lead. TheTigers soon fell away, Cornell and Yalegoing out, with the Red and White eightgaining a slight lead at the three-quarter-mile mark. Yale closed up and establisheda slight margin at the mile, with Prince-ton more than a length behind.

Yale and Cornell battled on even termsfor the next half mile, both rowingsmoothly around 32 to the minute, butYale crept ahead at the mile and three-quarters. Three hundred yards from home,Cornell sprinted, catching Yale, but adozen strokes from the finish, the washof a speedboat swept across the course.Yale got through it nicely, but Cornellsplashed badly as the swell struck, andthe Elis gained perceptibly. Sprintinghard, both crews swept over the mark,Yί».le victor by one-fifth of a second.

CORNELL JUNIOR CREW IMPROVING

The water was choppier as the juniorvarsity eights started. Cornell got awayfirst, followed by Princeton and Yale.Rowing at 32, Cornell took a half-lengthlead in the first half-mile with Yale hold-ing the same margin over the Tigers.The Red jayvees established a scant lengthlead at the mile, Princeton challengingfor a bit to cut down Yale's length leadfor second place.

Open water appeared between Cornelland Yale as they passed the mile and aquarter post, with Princeton again drop-ping back. With a half-mile to go andYale a length and a half behind, the Elisbegan sprinting, cutting Cornell's leadto a little over a length as the final quarter-mile post loomed. Cornell went to 34, butYale spurted, rowing 36 to 38, to close upopen water and finish a scant length be-hind.

The lake calmed considerably as thevarsities jockeyed into position at thestart. Rowing conditions were nearlyperfect.

Princeton and Yale got away together,Cornell making a poor start. The Tigersset a high pace, but their shortened,jerky stroke failed to cover distance. TheNassau shell checked badly, but theTigers held a lead of about a quarter-length in the first 300 yards. Cornellsettled down in third place, rowing asteady 32..

Yale took command at the half-mileflags, with Cornell overhauling Prince-ton. From that point on, Princeton wasout of the race. The Elis and Cornellsettled down to steady pulling, eachstroking about 32 to the minute and ap-plying power with long strokes.

CORNELL COMES UP

Cornell made its first challenge whenthe mile flags were put astern, raising thebeat to 34 to cut Yale's lead down to halfa length. Princeton was a full length be-hind Cornell as the shells entered the finalthree-quarter-mile stretch. Yale main-tained its even 32, and Cornell let up abit, Yale gaining again and establishinga scant length at the mile-and-a-halfmark.

Then Cornell started. Stroke Bob Wil-son set the beat at close to 36 in the finaleffort to overhaul Yale. Slowly andsteadily, Cornell gained, pulling up onYale as the final quarter-mile stretchloomed. Johnny Jackson, Yale stroke,answered Cornell's challenge and put upthe stroke to 36, then to 38, and then to40 as Cornell came on with a powerfulrush, closing the lead to virtually nothing.Into the vital, last ten strokes the eightssped, but Yale rowed Cornell stroke forstroke and broke the finish line with onemighty sweep.

Both crews gave convincing demonstra-tions of superior oarsmanship. In the lastthrashing sprint, they rowed smoothly,

clearing the puddles even at the amazingbeat of 40. Both demonstrated undeniablepower. They were two of the finest crewsseen on Cayuga in years.

Yale kept its record for the season in-tact. Both crews are to be consideredstrong contenders for the honor of repre-senting the United States in the comingOlympic games, for the race was, to allappearances, a dead heat. One stroke andone-fifth of a second told the story.

TEAM LOSES, INDIVIDUALS STAR

The track team closed its dual meetseason by losing to Princeton, 843^ to503/2 at Princeton May 21.

Two dual meet records were broken,both of them by Cornellians. Manganraced the mile in 4:17.8, bettering themark of 4:24.4 set by Munson of Cornellin 1905. Mangan came back to the tracklater to win the 880-yard run.

Captain Schoenfeld captured the shotput with a heave of 47 feet 11 inches,bettering the former mark of 47 feet 4inches set by Levy of Cornell in 1930.Schoenfeld also scored a double victory,along with Mangan and Summerhill ofPrinceton, by winning the discus throw.

Summerhill captured the high hurdlesand the broad jump to score ten points forthe Tigers.

Hardy, Cornell sprinter, equaled ameet mark by negotiating the 100-yarddash in 0:09.8, tying the mark set byJarvis of Princeton in 1899.

Cornell captured seven firsts to eightfor Princeton.

Broaca of Yale bested Sereysky in apitching duel in the Spring day game,letting Cornell down with six hits andstriking out seven batters. Sereysky scat-tered Yale's eight blows except in thethird, when Williamson connected for ahome run and Kimball and Maine forsingles to score both Yale tallies.

Both teams played fast ball, Yale cut-ting down a Cornell threat in the seventhby a fast double play. Sensational stopsand catches featured nearly every inning.Broaca started the third inning by ground-ing out to Sereysky. Williamson caughtone of Sereysky's slants and placed theball in deep right center to circle thebases. Kimball singled to center and stole

second. Fletcher flied to Kappler, butMaine scored Kimball with a single to left.

THE STORY OF A STARTIn 1876 at Saratoga Lake the time had

come for the intercollegiate varsity racein six-oared shells. The stake boats wereanch ored at the starting line—six in a row.We rowed out and backed until EdmundLeB. Gardner '75 held our rudder. Everyman with nerves and muscles tense wasready for the supreme effort. Then camethe word that Columbia had broken arudder wire and must return to quartersfor repair. I'm sure that every man in theother five boats cursed all rudder wires andespecially broken ones. John Ostrom '77knew better than to stay idly at thestarting line. We paddled back under theshadow of Snake Hill, left the boat, andwalked about with grave faces and fierce,eager eyes. The funniest joke in the wholeworld wouldn't have raised a smile. Atlast, after minutes that seemed hours,Columbia appeared with her damned oldmended rudder wire, arfd we all took ourstarting places again. Perhaps the delaywas salutary; we were all mad enough tobeat the world.

The starter was William Blakie, whoafterwards wrote a book: How to GetStrong and Stay So. He stood up in theLaunch and in his deep, booming voice,that reached every oarsman, he said:" I will say three times, 'Gentlemen, areyou ready?' at the end of the third timepromptly I will give the word, 'Go! 'Even so he spoke, and we were off. Wehad our revenge on Columbia; for wej umped a lead of a boat length before we

came to the first eight-mile buoy, andthey never crowded us again.

The story of this race to victory hasbeen told many times; this is the storyof the start that hasn't been told.

JUST LOOKINGAROUND

WE WANT you to join our Professors'Protective Association," said the

coarse-looking stranger.

"But I belong to so many things al-ready!" protested the Professor.

"We want you to join our Professorst

Protective Association," repeated thecoarse-looking stranger, moving his faceclose to that of the Professor. His breathwas rich with garlic and alcohol. "Wewant to save you from gettin' in a jam,see? They's a lot of muscle-men aroundmakin' trouble, see?"

"Mussulmen? But why should Mussul-men make trouble? I have found them al-ways very tolerant."

"They's a lot of chiselers and mittsaround," persisted the stranger. "So youbetter join up with the Professors' Pro-tective Association."

"Sorry," said the Professor; "Sorry."

"You will be sorry," returned thestranger, ominously.

On the following day the Professor'slecture was much inconvenienced by per-sistent fits of coughing. When the cough-ers had at length been eliminated, agarter-snake caused a frightful screaminguproar. The garter-snake was hunted andcaught, but a girl had fainted. When shewas brought to the bell rang.

The next day the Professor's notes dis-appeared. He was obliged to read aloudfrom the textbook, while a man with apower mower cut the grass beneath hiswindow, a truck broke down close by,and an airplane with cutout openswooped over the building.

Next day, when he attempted to basean argument on the assumptions of evo-lution, an offensive student rose to statethat evolution is merely a hypothesis,disregarding many phenomena and vio-lently distorting others. What is more,he proved it.

In despair, the Professor fell b^ck onthe elements of mathematics. He statedthat parallel lines would never meet. Heput two parallel lines on the board; theymet and exploded, leaving a bad smell.

Now the Professor is a member of theProfessors' Protective Association. Hesends his monthly cheques to a Federalinstitution in Atlanta. RUNDSCHAUER

BOOKS

MICROSCOPIC THEORY

The Microscope. By Simon Henry Gage'77, Emeritus Professor of Histology andEmbryology. Ultra-Violet Edition (15th)Ithaca. The Comstock Publishing Com-pany. 1931. 13.5 cm., pp. viii, 589.Price, $4.

The first edition of this invaluablework was issued in 1908. In the inter-vening years the author has gone on re-vising and improving it, and in thisfifteenth edition has added an entirelynew chapter on ultra-violet radiation inmicroscopy. Thus the book represents thereading and experimentation of more thanhalf a century.

It is hard to see how the book could bemade more complete. The physics, themechanics, and the practical use of themicroscope all receive due attention.Every process and phase of the subjectare amply illustrated. In addition to thecollateral reading lists there is a bibliog-raphy of twelve pages. The index (twentypages) leaves nothing to be desired.

The ultra-violet microscope marks anotable advance in the evolution of theinstrument. The author modestly saysthat the chapter on this subject wouldhave been impossible but for the help ofhis son, Henry Phelps Gage '08, now anexpert on glass with the Corning GlassWorks. The difference between theappearance of, e.g., a bandanna handker-chief in ordinary light and in ultra-violetlight must be seen to be appreciated. Itseems probable that microscopical studyof the various forms of life under thisnew light will yield important results.

To the layman the chapter on the his-tory of lenses is of great interest. Theworld had to wait for Roger Bacon in thethirteenth century before it got the hintto use artificial lenses as an aid to vision.It was not long after Bacon's Opus Ma justhat spectacles came into use for reading(around 1300). The invention of themicroscope-telescope seems to have beenthe work of Zacharias Jansen of Middle-burg, Holland, in 1590. In 1611 Keplerinvented the compound microscope.

Dark-field microscopy was begun byLister in 1830, carried on by Reade in1837, and made available for the highestpowers in 1850-56.

Himself a distinguished scientist, theauthor has in this book shown othershow they may use this marvelous instru-ment to obtain still deeper insight intothe nature of life.

THE ITALIAN REFORMERS

The Italian Reformers, 1534-1564. By

Frederic Corss Church '09, Ph.D. Ί 6 ,Professor of History in the University ofIdaho. New York. Columbia UniversityPress. 1932-. 2.2-2. cm., pp. xiv, 418.Price, $5.

In this book Professor Church has toldan interesting chapter in the history ofthe great movement known as theReformation. We generally think of theReformation as a Teutonic and Polishrebellion against corruption and dis-tasteful doctrine in the Church. But therewere many Italians likewise affected.Juan Baldes, Pierpaolo Vergerio, Pier-mairtire Vermigli, Bernardino Ochino,Celio Secundo Curione, Vincenzo Maggi,Francesco Negri, Sebastian Castellio,Matteo Gribaldi, Lelio Sozzini, theMarquis of Oria, Georgio Brandrate,and Giampaolo Alciati are among thebest known of those Italians whomhumanistic studies brought to doubt thedogmas of Rome. So popular was thepreaching of Ochino that churches wouldnot hold the crowds, a scaffolding waserected inside t h * church to give moresitting space, while outside tiles weretorn from neighboring roofs so thatlisteners in the attics might hear better.

The history of these reformers, asmight be expected, is pathetic and tragic.Exile, the confiscation of their property,in some cases a horrible martyrdom,were the fates meted out to them. Paleariowas beheaded, De Algerio was immersedin boiling oil, Galeazzo Trezio wasburned. But the Inquisitors, while thusattempting to save the souls of theirvictims, could not kill their ideas.

The Italians were among the most out-spoken in condemning the execution ofServetus. Garibaldi both condemned theidea of executing anyone for an opinionand failed to* find the teaching of Servetusdamnable in itself.

THE WEEK ON THE CAMPUS

SPRING DAY. A nice day for it, belyingthe familiar sneer about foul weather.Everything went off on time; the ob-

servation train was back at its base by aquarter past seven. There was no circus;that was abandoned last year, you know.People don't care so much for broad buf-foonery as they used to; they like morefinesse in their humor.

THE WEEK was a round of amusementslike the Carnival of Venice. Wednesdayand Saturday the Dramatic Club put onits i93i Revue, to the high amusement ofthe audiences. The Clef Club, which isintimately related with the Cornell Band,gave a rousing performance on Thursdayevening. On Friday the Musical Clubs ac-quitted themselves nobly in an ambitiousprogram. The guests adjourned from theMusical Clubs Concert to the Navy DayBall in the Drill Hall. The theme of thedecorations was appropriately nautical,and everyone, I suppose, had a wonderfultime.

THESE FRATERNITIES gave house parties:Kappa Delta Rho, Phi Kappa Tau, DeltaSigma Phi, Phi Sigma Delta, Pi KappaAlpha, Scorpion, Sigma Alpha Mu, TauKappa Epsilon, Theta Chi, Theta Xi,Zodiac, Seal and Serpent, and Phi Gam-ma Delta.

THE BOOK-STEALERS of whom we spoketwo weeks ago have been expelled by theStudent Conduct Committee. Two werepermanently dropped; four were droppedwith the provision that they could not re-enter without the consent of the Com-mittee on Student Conduct. " N o evidencewas found that books were taken by thesestudents for any reason except their per-sonal use. No evidence was found of anorganized ring or general collusion on thepart of the culprits for the stealing ofbooks."

THE NAMES of the book-thieves werenot published. No doubt this conceal-ment is wise, kind, and merciful; yetsome feel that the offense deserves thepenalty of public shame. For this is noinfringement of the rules of the Univer-sity, nor merely a case of conduct unbe-coming a young gentleman; it is a crime.It is a pity if membership in a universityconveys a new benefit of clergy, releasingthe malefactors from the penalties im-partially assessed by society. And if, asappears to be the case, some at least ofthe lawbreakers justify their deeds onthe ground that they are anti-social, so-ciety has a right to know about it andbeware.

THE ITHACA Journal-News reports,with every show of truth, one of the ex-pelled students as saving: "This is a more

righteous institution than I believed it tobe." Obviously the phrase was utteredwith an ironical sneer. He was not testi-fying to our righteousness but to ourbourgeois hypocrisy. He was testifyingchiefly to his own superiority to the Uni-versity's mean codes of right and wrong.And far from being contrite at his expul-sion, he was accepting it as a personaltribute from society. Yes, I think weought to have the names.

THE HIGH-MINDED thief continued: " Ihave to say this, that Cornell is losing sixgeniuses. Every one of these six men isquick, alert, brilliant, advanced, and ad-vancing. Their brilliance and genius willbe missed at Cornell." Well, we'd rathermiss a few geniuses than our overcoats.

THE SENIOR CLASS made a very impres-sive record in its subscription to the classmemorial, which took the form of an un-restricted pledge to the Alumni Fund.The total pledge was $65,650. More than80 per cent of the senior class subscribed,88 per cent of the women and 75 per centof the men. Much credit is due to MissLouise R. Rost of New York and EdwinJ. Fitzpatrick of Oswego, '32. chairmen ofthe women's and men's teams.

NICE to see that Walter C. Teagle '99,Trustee of the University and president ofthe Standard Oil of New Jersey, and FloydL. Carlisle '03, chairman of the Consoli-dated Gas Company of New York, aremembers of the committee of twelve torehabilitate banking and business. TheStock Exchange made a sharp recovery atthe news.

VAL R. LORWIN 'ZJ, assistant in mod-

ern European history, won one of the sixAmerican Field Service Fellowships thisyear. He will spend a year in study inFrance.

PROFESSOR Nathaniel Schmidt of theDepartment of Semitic Languages andLiteratures was the guest of honor at a teain Barnes Hall, offered by the HillelFoundation, on May 15. A throng ofFaculty members and students attended,to testify to their esteem and affection forone of the greatest figures of our Faculty.

COLONEL Joseph W. Beacham '98,Commandant of the R.O.T.C., has beenabundantly feted by various organizationsin testimony to the deep impress he hasmade on our community in his five yearsof residence here. "If and when there isanother conflict (and I hope that willnever be)," said Romeyn Berry '04 in atribute before the Cornell Club of Ithaca,

nothing would give me greater pleasurethan to be stationed somewhere to the

left and not too far to the rear of a regimentcommanded by good old Joe Beacham."

HENDRIK VAN LOON '05 was in town

for the week-end, speaking to the Bookand Bowl Club and giving a public lec-ture for the benefit of the student relieffund. Dr. Van Loon was introduced feli-citously by Professor Emeritus George L.Burr '81, and concluded his stimulatingaddress by a beautiful tribute to ProfessorBurr, " t o whom I owe everything thathas come to me in the world of good."It was very pleasant to have Dr. van Loonaround again, to listen to his effervescentwit and wisdom, and to be inspirited byhis magnificient vitality.

THE SUN asserts that a course in lovemaking is given at Alfred University, onein hula hula dancing at the University ofHawaii, and that at the University ofMinnesota a course in left-handed ping-pong has been established to cure stam-mering.

DR. SEUSS (Theodore Seuss Geisel) wasin town for Spring Day. The Sun's inter-view seemed to many of us to verge on theludicrous. "Dr. Seuss is accompanied byMrs. Geisel, their 66-month-old daughterCrysanthemum-Pearl, and Talons, hishired scratcher. The trip was made inthe doctor's home-made blimp, Helen.

"The famed medical man, who lostboth his arms in an unfortunate accident,draws all his pictures with his nimbletoes. The accident occurred while Dr.Seuss was making a vain effort to retrievea penny from a subway grating.

"Dependent for his livelihood on hispedal extremities, Dr. Seuss has takengood care that he will never lose hissources of income. Each toe has been in-sured for $50,000, with the exception ofthe right little one. This has proved to bethe most gifted by far, and is insured for$100,000.

"Dr. Seuss was resting when a repre-sentative of The Sun called on him shortlyafter tiffin yesterday. He gladly compliedwith the request for a demonstration ofwhat he calls' toeing the mark.' Quick asa wink he had his shoes off. Before thereporter's amazed eyes, his dainty littletoes carried the pencil like mad over thepaper to produce one of his inimitableanimals.

"When asked how he likes it in thecountry, the doctor replied: Ί just loveyour tall buildings and your—what youcall them?—subways. I think the Ameri-can women the best dressed and mostbeautiful in the world.' " —M. G. B.

He has madepossible the grafting of many specieswhich had previously presented such diffi-culties that they were thrown out of thepractical commercial phase of farm profit.Dr. Morris's work along these lines hasbrought some trees and shrubs into theasset group, but the principles areapplicable to the propagation of fruit-bearing trees and shrubs of the orna-mental type as well. . .

" M y father was a newspaper editor. Heran the old Kingston Argus, successor toThe Ulster County Gazette, which goesback to the birth of the Republic. I spenta lot of my boyhood hanging around aprinting shop. The newspaper businessand politics were instilled into me allthrough my boyhood. My father driftedWest to Galena, Illinois, and founded anewspaper called The Douglas Democrat.He was a whole-souled Democrat, afollower of Douglas, and a member of hisparty when he traveled about thecountry to debate with Lincoln. I livedand breathed Democracy as a lad;naturally, I was a Douglas Democrat longbefore I could vote. You might say Iacquired Democratic principles by in-halation." He admits that our judicialsystem is far from perfect. "But I don'tthink, as many do, that the mere multi-plication of courts and judges will solvethe problem. We have gbt to have morethan that. We have got to go at theproblem from the bottom, reform our pro-cedure to eliminate delays and strengthenthe administrative method where we allknow it is weak."

CORNELL SONGBOOK(Eight new songs)

Special $1.50

We tried to get this new edition out in time for Christmas.We did not make U and in our hurry three mistakes crept intothe song by George Pond. The song was "Hail thou in Majesty,Cornell . Perhaps most people would not know the difference.We have inserted a corrected sheet and have obtained anallowance from the printer. There are seven other new songsin this edition but because of the error we offer them at onedollar and a half apiece. Better order now.

Red and White Cornell BookendsLight weight $1.00

These are sheet metal of good quality, painted, and have the Cornell Shield.They usually sell at $1.75 but a Boston bank failed and the manufacturer hadhis money tied up in the bank. He wanted quick cash and gave us the pricewhich we extend to you.

4" Inch Heavy weight $4.75These are well known 4 heavy bronze bookends we have sold for years at$6.50. We bought this lot with those above. Give these bargains more than apassing thought.

Pennants and BannersMore and more people are sending to the Co-op, for pennants and banners.We believe it is due \o the fact that many have examined the quality of thepennants when they were in Ithaca last and are satisfied. We have put in stockagain a 24" x 60" banner which did not sell to students but our out-of-towncustomers wanted them. Do you want the folder showing this one? Drop us a line.

iEπmΰtmjrTo reduce expenditures by discontinuing

payments for life insurance isnot real economy.

READ THIS CONVERSATION . . .

Agent "Mr. Insured, I imagine you'd bemighty surprised if you knew why I have triedso hard to persuade you to keep your insurancein force. This may sound like a queer state-ment, but my company would rather haveyou drop dead tonight than have you dropyour insurance this afternoon."

Mr. Insured - - "What are you talking about? How

do you figure that out?"

Agent "If you drop dead tonight, my Com-

pany doesn't lose. The law of average takes

care of us. But, if you drop your insurance

this afternoon, you lose, and we lose, and no

one derives any benefit from our loss or yours.

And what's more, the same law of averages

which takes care of us, becomes a menace to

you and your family the minute you become

uninsured."
