SENIOR GOWNS were not designedto be raincoats, but they played thatpart with some success during the

Commencement parade to Bailey Hall.Just before the procession was to startfrom the quadrangle, the usual cats anddogs poured from the heavens, so that thecandidates for baccalaureate degrees wereforced to form in various buildings and tom&reh ϊrom them to Bailey. The paradeof the second division, consisting of thepresident, trustees, faculty, and candi-dates for advanced degrees, gathered atthe entrance of Bailey, instead of comingfrom behind to march between openranks of seniors as is the usual custom.The seniors themselves, in spite of theabbreviated march, got nicely wet. Butthe padded shoulders of the. academiceowns absorbed most of the water, be-coming a soggy weight to carry, but ap-parently preventing an epidemic of sneezesduring the solemn Commencement session.

AFTER THE SENIORS and their proudparents left town, the campus was livenedfor two days by the presence of somehundred members of the New York StatePublishers Association, here for their an-nual summer meeting, with headquartersat Willard Straight Hall. When thatconvention ended, another began, that ofthe New York State Associated Dailies,and later still another, the convention ofthe New York Press Association. It looksas if Ithaca and Cornell should be in for amost flattering boost of publicity. If thereturning alumni were awed by the beautyof Willard Straight Hall, these visitingpublishers and their wives were equally so.And although the campus and the countryround about is magically lovely whenburied under two feet of snow, or filledwith a riotous array of color in the fall,these late spring days lend a quiet beautyof their own which no other season canmatch.

Now, WITH THE publishers also gone,the campus is at perfect peace., The droneof voices is hushed, and the clatter oί tin-pan student cars gone. Only the lazysound of lawn mowers, and the soothingscent of freshly cut grass remains. Thebuildings take a two weeks vacation,storing strength to withstand the on-slaught of summer school students. Thecampus dogs, those traffic cop canines whoparoled Central Avenue, have left formore busy thoroughfares. Sometimes itseems that to really know and love theircampus, the alumni should put off theirreuning to these two weeks. But then theywould make it noisy again.

FIRST LIEUTENANT Albert Pierson, now

assigned at Cornell, was to have been sent

on active duty July 15, but has beengranted an extension of time and will re-main here until August 15.

THE ARMY, or at least that part of itwhich includes the recruiting corps ofIthaca, is getting very sporty. The com-mander of the district has ordered hisofficers to carry snappy little swaggersticks. Whether it was thought of as abaiting trick or not it should work outthat way. For probably every man has asubmerged desire to rig himself out with atricky cane, but most of them are sort ofshy about doing it. Now all he has to dois join the army. The sticks will go verywell with the new order calling for a neatcivilian cut lapel, doing away with thatuncomfortable horse collar around theneck.

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER has been mak-

ing his annual pilgrimage to the FingerLakes district. He visited his birthplacein Richford over in Tioga County, andlunched on Owasco Lake. Several timesin the past he has visited Ithaca, on one ortwo occasions staying over night at theIthaca Hotel. No one knows whether hewill stop here on this trip, but the ownersof dime banks are getting them shined upto be ready.

SOME FREAK FORM of mental aberra-

tion has led to the forming of a new sportin town. It consists o f going around lettingthe air out of automobile tires in theowners' absence. Unfortunately for them,the participants in the game were caughtby police officers, and fined $5 apiece.They could not convince the authoritiesthat they were just having harmless fun.

THE ITHACA CHAMBER of Commerce

sent a questionnaire to all its membersasking what were considered the most im-portant developments to be considered inthe improving of the city. The firstquestion received high vote: "MakeIthaca more beautiful by properly caringfor and extending street tree systems andthe planting of parks, creek banks, etc."Second in importance was listed "continuestreet paving program," an item whichanyone who has driven down State Streetor up Thurston Avenue will endorse.

TAKING THE PLACE of the old Horton,

which was burned to the water line lastyear, the steamer Augusta will do businesson the lake this summer, making her dailytrips down to Crowbar with freight andpassengers.

WHEN THE SHELDON Court fire numberwas blown on the Morse whistle the Mon-day night after Commencement, everyoneleft in town hurried to the scene, expectingto find an exciting holocaust in progress.

The fire engines were there in fine style,but the only fire was an entirely orderlyone burning in a fire place. Someone sawthe glare through the window and turnedin the alarm without looking further.

A TEN-YEAR-OLD Jersey cow, owned bythe College of Agriculture, has earned forherself the right to appear on the Registerof Merit of the American Jersey CattleClub of New York. The Club gave her a305 day test, during which time she pro-duced 48,937 pounds of butterfat and10,313 pounds of milk.

Two STUDENTS, Benjamin E. Tilt on '26of Utica and Mordelo L. Vincent '26 ofTampico, Mexico found that after all it iswell to know something about nauticalmatters before taking a sailboat out onCayuga Lake. For when they got theirship away from shore, the thing capsizedon them, and probably they would still bestraddling its keel if rescuers had not putout from shore and towed them in.

SPECIAL bequests amounting to morethan ten thousand dollars were announcedrecently when the will of Frank Eschen-burg, Ithaca Hotel barber, was admittedto probate. Eschenburg, who ran theIthaca Barber Shop for more than fortyyears, accumulated a small fortune and re-tired from business a few weeks before hisdeath. He was known to thousands ofCornell graduates.

AN INVESTIGATION of the managementof the Michigan Union has resulted in areport denying all charges of gross in-efficiency in the maintenance of the build-ing. The dues from students have beenincreased from six to ten dollars. Of thisfee, however, only one-half is to be spentfor maintenance the other five dollars be-comes part of the capital investment tobe used for the next few years in retiringthe indebtedness on the building, whichnow amounts to a little more than $200,000.By this change the available income fromeach student is decreased from six to fivedollars, which amounts for the entirestudent body to about $7,000 annually.To offset this loss the university will here-after remit the charges for light and powerhitherto paid by the Union.

MEMBERS OF THE EPSILON chapter at

Cornell of Alpha Omicron Pi were hostsat a district convention of the sororityheld June 19 and 20 at Ithaca, with head-quarters at Prudence Risley. About fifteenrepresentatives from the University ofMaryland, New York University, the Uni-versity of Maine, and Syracuse, attendedalso Mrs. Stella Stearns Perry, grandsecretary of the national organization,and Mrs J. C. Huntington, one of thefounders.

Metcalf Makes Statement

Resigned Alumni Trustee Tells Why HeFound it Impossible to Continue

Editor CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS:

Feeling that I owe the Alumni of CornellUniversity a statement relative to myhaving retired from the Board of Trusteesand realizing that there is no bettermedium than THE ALUMNI NEWS formaking such an announcement, I ask youto print this letter at an early date.

I appreciate much more than I can ex-press in words the great courtesy conferredon me by the body of Alumni when itelected me a Trustee of Cornell University.In allowing my name to be placed beforethe Alumni as candidate I did so fullyrealizing the obligations of the office andhad a determination to meet those obliga-tions to the best of my ability.

Until a few months ago I was able toattend all of the meetings of the Board ofTrustees and the Committee on Buildingsand Grounds, to which I had been com-paratively recently elected.

During the past six months conditionshave arisen which make it impracticablefor me to attend the meetings of the Boardor to perform such duties as are assignedto me by the Board. It has always beenmy policy never to belong to a public orsemi-public body unless I was able to givethe proper attention to the obligations ofthe position. Inasmuch as I am unable toproperly fulfill the duties of the office ofTrustee of Cornell University it became inmy opinion necessary for me to resignfrom the Board.

It was my desire to make this announce-ment some months ago so that my placeon the Board might have been filled atthis year's election, but as my resignationfrom the Board was not accepted until lastmonth I could make no announcement ofmy decision.

I hope that the entire body of Alumniwill clearly understand that I am not re-signing from the Board because of anydisagreement with the policy of the Boardor with the members thereof. Our re-lations have always been most cordial, andit has been a great pleasure for me to servewith the high type of men who constitutethe Board. When differences have arisenin the Board of Trustees, they have al-ways been thoroughly discussed beforeaction has been taken, and the variousactions of the Board have almost in-variably been unanimous.

Dr. Farrand as the head and leader ofthe University has always had the heartiestsupport of the Board of Trustees, and theBoard has done all that it^could do insupport of the policies outlined by Dr.Farrand. I make this statement becauseof the fact that I have often heard theAlumni of the University criticize thepersonality of the Board of Trustees andsome of the criticisms seem to imply someselfish aim on the part of a few who carry

on the burden of the work of the Board.I want to assure the Alumni that I havenever seen during my short time as amember of the Board anything that couldin the least degree be taken as an indica-tion that some members of the Boardwere acting for their own selfish interests.My opinion is that every member of theBoard is making a personal sacrifice and afew of them making a tremendous sacrificeof time and money, and with no thoughtof gain or advantage to themselves, ex-cept what comfort might come to a manwho feels that he has well performed theduties assigned to him.

Please pardon the great length of thisletter, but I feel that I could not properlyexpress myself more briefly.

Cornell Confers 1,150 Degrees at Fifty-Eighth Commencement

President Farrand Asks Seniors to Guard Against Threatened Breakdown ofDemocracy—Sees European Menace

At its fifty-eighth Commencement heldon June 14 in Bailey Hall the Universitygranted 1150 degrees in addition to 63given by the Medical College in New Yorkon June 10. Two certificates of WarAlumnus were awarded to students whosestudies were interrupted by military ser-vice.

Of the 1150 given in Ithaca, includingthose conferred in September 1925 andFebruary 1926, 938 were first degrees and212 were advanced degrees. Thesefigures compare with 855 first degrees and201 advanced degrees, a total of 1,056given in 1925. The number of candidatesfor advanced degrees has been steadilyincreasing during the past few years.

First degrees were awarded as follows:Bachelor of Arts, 363; Bachelor of Chem-istry, 18; Bachelor of Laws, 53; Bachelorof Science in Agriculture, 146; Bachelor ofScience in Home Economics, 58; Bachelorof Science in Hotel Management, 18;Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, 20; Bache-lor of Architecture, 11 Bachelor of Land-scape Architecture, 3; Bachelor of FineArts, 1; Civil Engineer, 80; MechanicalEngineer, 104; Electrical Engineer, 63.

Advanced degrees given in Ithaca were:Master of Arts, 55; Master of Chemistry,1; Master of Science, 59; Master ofScience in Agriculture, 6; Master ofForestry, 3; Master of Architecture, 1;Master of Civil Engineering, 5; Master ofMechanical Engineering, 7; Master ofElectrical Engineering, 4; Doctors ofPhilosophy, 71.

A drizzling rain disturbed the formationof the academic procession. Instead ofgathering outdoors on the quadrangle, ac-cording to custom, the candidates for firstdegrees formed in double file in variousdesignated buildings and marched fromthere to Bailey Hall. The second divisionconsisting of the president, faculty j trus-tees, and candidates for advanced degrees,gathered at the entrance of Bailey Hall in-stead of coming in from behind betweenthe open ranks of seniors, the usualformation.

As the candidates entered the auditor-ium, Professor Harold Smith, Universityorganist, played the processional "MarchePontificale." Following this, the assemblysang "America" and the invocation wasoffered by the Reverend Martin D. Har-din, D.D., pastor of the First PresbyterianChurch of Ithaca. The president, trus-tees, faculty, and University officials wereon the platform.

The formal conferring of degrees cameby groups, the candidates from each groupbeing recommended by their Dean.Colonel Jesse C. Nicholls, United StatesArmy, acted as chief marshal. At his

command, the various college groups stoodone by one, as President Farrand conferredthe degrees. Candidates for the rank ofSecond Lieutenant in the Officer's Re-serve Corps of the United States Armywere presented by Professor William A.Hammond, dean of the University faculty.Sixty-three seniors were commissionedreserve Second Lieutenants.

President Farrand in his Commence-ment address chose for the last word of theUniversity to its graduates what he con-sidered the most outstanding need ofpresent civilization—the challenge todemocracy. He said:

"Let no one push aside as unimportantthe situation which exists today in Italy,in Spain; in Portugal, where democracyhas been openly denounced and a substi-tute demanded. The breakdown of de-mocracy in Russia, in the Balkans, and itsweakening in many parts of Europe, fore-shadows its arrival sooner or later in thiscountry.

"You are going out to face a problemthe solution of which has proved impossibleto my generation. What is the lack inpresent civilization which seems to havewarranted the skepticism towards de-mocracy? It is due to ignorance, to wide-spread lack of fundamental knowledge, ofknowledge of history. There is no lack ofideals.

"Yours is the obligation to be informed,to know—that you shall not be contentwith the technical, personal training youhave received here. Look broadly overthe world, and recognize and discharge theresponsibilities your present achievemententails. This can't be done unless you haveintelligence, and intelligence can't comeunless you are informed.

"As the final plea of the University toyou I would say: Keep on with the processof education. The world seems to be un-able, or unwilling, to acept the products ofreason and demonstrated truth.

"Failure to be guided in civic action, aswe have seen it in the recent electoral pro-ceedings of a neighboring state, is a men-ace of the highest degree. Only second tothat is the danger of complacency whichtoo often envelops American citizens."

The Commencement service was con-cluded with the playing of the CornellAlma Mater on the organ chimes by Pro-fessor Harold Smith. Benediction waspronounced by Doctor Hardin.

Medical College GraduatesAt the annual commencement of the

College of Medicine in New York City onJune 10, sixty-three seniors received thedegree, M. D. President Farrand ad-ministered the time-honored oath of

Hippocrates and conferred the degrees.The annual address to the graduating classwas made by Dr. Frank Sherman Meara,professor of Clinical Medicine in theCollege of Medicine.

The college announced the names of tenprize winners for the year 1925-26. TheJohn Metcalfe Polk Memorial Prizes forscholarship were awarded to Janet G.Travell, Frank M. Falconer, and JuliusChasnoff. The same prizes for efficiencyin otology went to Roy G. S. DougaD andBettina Warburg. Robert L. Craig,Samuel Pennell, and Walter I. Akana re-ceived the William M. Polk MemorialPrizes in gynecology. The Gustav Selig-man Prizes in obstetrics were won byJulius Chasnoff and Edwina Kittredge.All the prize winners are seniors. Thefollowing six seniors were placed on thehonor roll; Janet G. Travell, Frank M.Falconer, Julius Chasnoff, ElizabethBrakeley, John S. Carman, and LeonardTarr.

The ancient oath of Hippocrates ad-ministered by President Farrand, himselfan M. D., formed a picturesque part ofthe ceremony. All graduates of the Collegeof Medicine are required to take this otahwhich is transcribed below in full.

In our profession it is a custom, es-tablished more than two thousand yearsago, that no man may be admitted to itshonors, who has not first expressly takenupon himself its obligations. Now, there-fore, in behalf of your elders, I call uponyou to take, as we have taken before you,the oath which bears the name of Hippoc-rates. The language in which our pre-decessor first pronounced it is no longerspoken but still we find no nobler wordsthan the most ancient, in which to handdown the traditions of our calling.

You do solemnly swear, each to what-ever he holds most sacred:

That you will be loyal to the Professionof Medicine and just and generous to itsmembers

That you will lead your lives andpractice your art in uprightness and honor

That into whatsoever house you shallenter, it shall be for the good of the sickto the utmost of your power, you holdingyourselves far aloof from wrong, from cor-ruption, from the tempting of others to vice

That you will exercise your art solely forthe cure of your patients, and will give nodrug, perform no operation for a criminalpurpose, even if solicited far less suggest it

That whatsoever you shall see or hear ofthe lives of men which is not fitting to bespoken, you will keep inviolably secret.

These things do you swear. Let eachcandidate raise his right hand in ac-quiescence.

Reunion Classes Send in Official Reports

TO JUDGE from the relativelysmall number of chairmen andsecretaries who have made detailed

reports of their class reunions, it is evidentthat it takes more than a few days to re-cover from the strenuous effect of thatweekend in Ithaca. The first instalmentis appended below, with the expectationthat more will follow in subsequent issues.

The general alumni rally, held in BaileyHall on Saturday night, was in manyrespects along the lines of other years.The Class of Ί i ,in charge this year inaccordance with the custom of accordingthe honor to the fifteen-year class, intro-duced some novelties, particularly in theinclusion of several numbers by non-Cornellians.

C M . Chuckrow Ί i presided. HaroldD. (Bub) North '07 and William H. (Bill)Forbes '06, the Cleveland Duo, led thecommunity singing and cheering, and Pro-fessor Harold D. Smith performed at thepiano. Henry J. (Hank) Kimball Ί ispoke for the host class. President Far-rand and Coach Jack Moakley were the onlyother speakers, except for informal remarksfrom the floor by Judge James O'Neill'71, when his class won the cup for havingthe greatest proportion of its membershipback, and by Charles F. Hendryx '69, rep-resenting the first class graduated. RogerBird, a Dartmouth man, entertained withsongs and ditties at the piano. MissMarie Rothman, a coloratura sporano, andMartin Dicker, tenor, each sang two orthree numbers.

•01

The twenty-five year celebration thisyear was well up to the standard of recentreunions and in point of numbers wassecond only to '00 of a year ago. It wasthe largest turnout of '01 ever held inIthaca and it was unanimously voted atthe class dinner on Saturday night to re-turn again two years hence, when the DixPlan schedules '01 for another reunion.

At the Class dinner it was voted to re-tain all the old officers: James O'Malley,president; Clarence H. Fay, secretary; andRoger B. Williams, Jr., treasurer. Theclass elected Harvey J. Couch of Odessaas its representative on the CornellianCouncil.

'05

A few apprehensive souls felt doubtfulabout another 1905 reunion on the Dixplan following so closely the twentieth lastJune; but these are timid souls anyway.They just don't know the quality of the"Old Guard". Those who stayed awaymay just chalk it up that they missed oneof the liveliest, one of the most friendlyand one of the busiest reunions we everhad. It was enhanced by the presence onthe campus of large delegations from '06,'07 and '08 and the rooms and corridorsand the open terraces in and about Bakerdormitories resounded with reminiscencesof our undergraduate days. All of the oldrushes and hazing parties were reviewedwith verve. No episode lost one whit ofits glow and atmosphere by reason of thepassing of years.

And the sings! All the ancient dittiesreminiscent of the campus, of Zinck's, ofthe Dutch Kitchen, were warbled underthe Baker Towers from late at night untilvery early in the morning, with a liquidsweetness that smacked of the spirit ofother days. Those who were there willnever forget it. Those who were not theremay chalk it up right now that it will all be

lived over again on our silver anniversaryor "old home week" which is a short fouryears away. Put the date right down now,and put a golden circle around it for yourclass claims it and you owe it to yourselfand to your class to be there. Remember,you are coming back!

At the business meeting of the class,held on the evening of the annual dinner aletter from Harold J. Richardson, whohad presented his resignation as classsecretary one year before, insisted that theresignation must stand as the pressure ofhis other work was such that he could notcontinue. Robert P. Butler, 36 PearlStreet, Hartford, Connecticut, was electedto succeed him. Every reachable memberof the class will receive a personal com-munication from the secretary in due time.Meantime, every change of address shouldbe forwarded to Mr. Butler at once. Geton the mailing list!

ΊI WomenThe ' 11 women who made their 15-year

reunion are more glad every day that theywere able to be there. Every hour of thereunion was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, and the memory lingers. Even alarger number back could not have addedto the sum total of the joyousness of theoccasion.

There were not so many back as lastyear. Ί i reunions coming two years insuccession undoubtedly had a great deal todo with that. Some who were back in 1925perhaps did not make the effort to returnthis year that they would have, had theyrealized that there would not be anopportunity to reune again until 1930.

Of the two plans of reunion, the womenof Ί 1 are unanimously in favor of the DixPlan. While they are closely united as aclass and all activities are carried on withthe class as a unit, still the greater numberof acquaintances they can renew, the moreties there are to bind them to the universityand the greater the pull to bring them backanother time.

We think our 15-year reunion was agreat success, and are grateful to our chair-man and his committee who worked sohard and so effectively to make it so.

»20 Women

If a cup had been awarded to the classhaving the best time at their reunion the1920 women, beautifully garbed in greensmocks, would have come in for theirshare of the honors. As every girl whowas back will testify the week-end was onedelightful gathering after another.

In addition to the general reunion eventsthere was an informal dinner at ForestHome Friday night. The Saturday nightbanquet, held in the Blue Room at Sage,was shared with the girls of '21. Thegroup was honored by having Dean Whiteas its guest and speaker and also DeanDexter S. Kimball of the College of Engi-

neering. Betty Neely, formally a memberof the class of '19 but socially a loyal '20girl, acted as toastmistress.

An Ithaca downpour Saturday pre-cluded the possibility of having the regu-lation Sunday morning breakfast on thenorth shore of Beebe and instead the girlscooked their own wieners and bacon inwhat used to be Sibley Dog. Followingthe breakfast there was a class meeting.Silence Rowlee, who had been secretarysince graduation, resigned, and MayThropp was elected to fill the vacancy.The class also elected an executive com-mittee composed of Cora Cooke, MaryDonlon, and Myrtle Lawrence, in addi-tion to Ruth Aldrich, the class president,and May Thropp, secretary. It was votedto publish the paper "1920's Here" an-nually on non-reunion years.

The class of 1924 held a record-breakingreunion on Friday and Saturday, June 11and 12. The total figure, 223, exceeds byten the record set last June by the class of1923, and makes a new high figure forfuture "reunioners" to shoot at.

The best showing was made by thewomen of the class, who returned 84strong. This is a higher percentage of theirtotal number than was shown by the 139men who came back. It is ordinarily con-ceded, however, that it is more difficult foryoung men to get away when they are

just starting in business than it is foryoung women.

The class headquarters for the menwere in Cascadilla Hall, and the southside of the building was largely given overto them. There Carl F. Wedell and HaroldE. Deuel, in charge of the arrangementsfor the baby reunion class, establishedtheir forces and held forth during the twodays. The class journeyed en masse tovarious events, such as the ball games, thecrew races on Friday afternoon, and thebig rally on Saturday night. The wearersof the green and white jockey costumeswere seen here, there, and everywherethroughout the two days, and particularlywere they in evidence in the Drill Hall,when they burst forth with joyous songand youthful abandon at various and un-expected moments.

The class banquet in the Savings Bankrestaurant was an event which will long beremembered by the participants. ChickNorris presided as toastmaster in his usualgraceful manner and ably introducedPresident Farrand, Professor BristowAdams, the special speaker of the evening,Carl Wedell, Hal Deuel, and Dave Cook.

Some of the things decided upon by theclass of '24 were to make every reunion assuccessful as the first one, to continuethe publication of its reunion sheet,"Twenty-four Returns" and to collect asmall head tax to provide for currentclass expenses.

PROGRESS ON TRUSTEE ELECTIONS

THE recent election of Alumni Trus-tees emphasizes the disadvantage to

everyone concerned of having so fewcandidates for the two positions to befilled. There is an unfortunate emphasison the defeat of the single loser. There areso few candidates that the suggestion tovote for a given candidate is almost aninjunction to vote against the others.Any real argument in favor of a candidateis regarded as unfair campaigning. Onemust speak guardedly of his favoritecandidate or not at all. The officialbiography, rarely giving the informationthe voter wants, must be made to tell thewhole story, or at least all of it that maybe told. One is made to feel that he hashis choice of being a hypocrite or a poorsportsman.

Compare the Cornellian's state of mindwith that of the alumni of other collegeswhere an adequate number of candidatesis compulsory. In addition to the ossifiedbiography, the alumni publication may,with good grace, run letters from interestedpartisans on the merits of favorite candi-dates. A frank discussion of sectional rep-resentation and other special pleas is ingood form. It naturally would be, whenthe soliciting of a vote does not imply

voting against someone else. The wholecampaign becomes a real campaign in-stead of an underhanded lot of hypo-critical circular letters disguised as personalcorrespondence.

We understand that this subject is to begiven serious consideration at the fallconvention in Philadelphia. If this is donethe 1926 Convention will reach a highpeak of usefulness whether it transactsother business or not.

I., Washingtonand Lee, Georgetown, Princeton andSyracuse. The team played 20 of 22 gamesscheduled, and won seven. Twelve werelost and one with Washington and Lee re-sulted in a 10-inning tie.

Crews at PoughkeepsieThe crews left for Poughkeepsie Sunday

evening. They will have six days ofpractice on the Hudson before the Inter-collegiate regatta, and the whole squad ismighty anxious to find good water andgood weather for this final tuning up. Notin years has the season at Ithaca been sobackward, and seldom has the squad beenso short of work. Nevertheless the victoryof the Varsity crew over California hasdistinctly improved the morale of thateight, and for that matter toned up thewhole rowing camp.

There is a distinct hope that the Varsityeight will be a factor in the four mile race,and the Junior eight is expected to make aconsiderably better showing than in therace with California here on June 11.Emerson is back at stroke in the juniorvarsity, and all of the crews now have theirfull strength. The showing of the fresh-man crew leaves much to be desired andnot too much should be expected from it.

The crews will establish their head-quarters near Vassar College on the eastside of the river. They will row from theCornell boathouse just south of the bridge,on the Highland side. Three eights, andsix substitutes make up the rowing squad.

The boating order of the Cornell eightsfollows:

Varsity—Bow, N. G. Stagg; 2, S. T.Buckman; 3, F. A. C. Drew; 4, P. D. Har-wood; 5, H. C. Boschen; 6, E. L. Anderson;7, S. C. Allen; stroke, R. V. Lange; coxs-wain, R. Aronson.

Junior varsity—Bow, W. J. Lanz; 2,R. C. Ter Kuile; 3, R. B. Jarvis; 4, R. C. S.Sutliff; 5, E. H. Callahan; 6, J. M.Francis; 7, D. M. Hynes; stroke, E. H.Emerson; coxswain, W. J. Bemis.

Freshman—Bow, C. H. Todd; 2, C. L.Carter; 3, J. F. Macomber; 4, W. W.Stillman; 5, R. M. Smith; 6, H. K.Havemeyer; 7, L. B. Knight; stroke S. W.Abbott; coxswain, M. B. Far well.

Football CoachesCoach Gilmour Dobie will have two

new assistants next fall, announcement ofthe football coaches staff reveals. RayHunt, who has been with Dobie ever sincehe came to Cornell in 1920, will not return.It is understood that business will preventhim from coaching any longer. George R.Pfann '23, who was one of the assistantcoaches last year is going to Oxford as aRhodes scholar.

Leonard C. Hanson '23, who has beenon the staff for three years will returnagain. The new men are Robert F. Patter-son '25 and Harold F. Kneen '25. Patter-son was assistant coach of the freshmanteam last fall, but Kneen has not coachedhere before. Hanson, Patterson, andKneen were all developed by Dobie atIthaca. Hanson played tackle in '22 and'23, Patterson half back in '23 and '24;and Kneen end in '23 and '24.

Paul W. Eckley '17 will continue asfreshman coach.

Track Team Sails SoonEleven track athletes representing Cor-

nell will sail from New York for Englandat midnight Saturday, June 26, with apicked team from Princeton, to competewith a joint Oxford-Cambridge team onJuly 10. Cornell will be represented inevery event on the program except thebroad jump. In this event Princeton hastwo men distinctly superior to anythingproduced at Ithaca this year. On theother hand the American representationin the 440 yard dash will be exclusivelyCornellian.

Most of the Cornell team was selectedby Coach Moakley on the basis of theseason's performances. Trials in the milerun, the pole vault and the shot put, heldon Schoellkopf Field Saturday afternoonsettled the places in doubt.

The Cornell team is made up as follows:100 and 220 yard dashes, Henry A.

Russell.440 yard run, Eugene P. Goodwillie,

John Farrand.880 yard run, Charles M. Werly.Mile run, Phillip I. Higley.Two Mile run, H. H. Benson.120 yard high hurdles, Elmo Carruthers,

MarylandThe Cornell University Association of

Maryland is planning a get-together onSunday, June 27, at Sherwood Forest,Maryland. Arrangements have beenmade to use a cottage. There will be theusual refreshments at the cottage, anddinner will be served at the SherwoodForest Club House. This outing will in-clude the privileges of golfing, tennis,swimming, boating, baseball, etc. It is in-tended that any money in excess of thecost of the outing will be forwarded to theC. U. C. A. for its work at the University.

The meeting place will be at 11 E.Pleasant Street, at 8.30 a. m. Sunday,June 27. Howard M. White '23, ParkHeights Avenue, Baltimore, is in charge.

The Monday luncheons at the Engi-neers' Club, Baltimore, are proving agreat success. Those who have attendedthem have found that they are not onlyimportant from a social standpoint, butthat they are also promoting good busi-ness relationships. This get-together,therefore, offers an opportunity for thosewho have not regularly attended theluncheons, to join in.

Central HudsonThe Central Hudson Cornell Club had

a delightful outing and picnic at the homeof Mrs. Edward L. Plass (Louise Ham-burger) '19 at Pleasant Valley on June 5.After the picnic the party adjourned to thehouse to play bridge and five hundred,followed by tea. It was the last meetingof the club for the season.

Six VILLAGES in central New York arefighting to be recognized as the birthplaceof Red Jacket, the Seneca chief of theWolf Clan, who held sway during theRevolution. Residents of Canoga, on theshores of Cayuga Lake have documents toprove that the gentleman was born inwhat is now their town. Red Jacket gothis name from the large number of coatsgiven him by the British arnry com-manders to keep his friendship. He wasalso known as "Sa-go-ye-wat-ha" meaning"he keeps them awake"—which was aninsomniac feat worthy of titling since hewas chiefly known as ah orator.

LITERARY REVIEW

On the XitotomateTomato Production: Facts and Practices

Dealing with a Leading Vegetable Cropare Rounded up for Every Day Use.Plant Growing, Soil Management, FieldCulture, Enemies, Marketing Returns,Varieties and Seeds. By Paul Work, M.S.'13, Professor of Vegetable Gardening.New York. Orange Judd Publishing Co.1926. 19.1 cm., pp. 127. 12 illustrations.Farm and Garden Library. Price, $1.25.

Here is a practical and useful volumegiving all the information that any growerof tomatoes needs to know and referencesto the best scientific monographs and dis-cussions of the subject.

The tomato is evidently of Americanorigin, and the one hundred per centAmerican need, therefore, have no hesita-tion about indulging freely. The Aztecshad a pleasant way of referring to it asthe xitotomate (doubtless a clipped formof excitotomato, derived from the enorm-ous energy imparted by it see below in thislearned review; or it may be from thestate of mind induced by the attempt topronounce the word; being far removedfrom that historic scene we do not presumeto settle the point). Speaking of pronun-ciation, it is curious that this learned per-son, this smiling but energetic savantwhose very name spells Work, should notknow how to pronounce the word. Everyschoolboy knows how it should be pro-nounced. But Work cannily shies; passesthe buck; merely says that Webster pre-fers to-may-to, while in the northeasternpart of the country (can this be a sly digat Boston?) they affect to-mah-to and(more crassly, insertion our own) to-mat-to. Why, M. Work, did your leave us inthe lurch like this?

But now, joking aside, as Hank Kimballsaid at the Rally, the to-mah-to is really,you know, a delicate aristocrat of thegarden. At the same time it does moreWork than any other vegetable. To quotefrom the tome which we are critically re-viewing, "it vies with lettuce as the leadingsalad vegetable; it is commonly served inits simplest cooked form, namely, stewedor turned hot from the can; and it is one ofthe favorite ingredients for soups of manysorts. It is baked, fried, either ripe orpartly green, stuffed, escalloped, or it maybe used in a variety of other dishes, whichcombine it with spaghetti, cheese, or otherfoods." Enough, M. Work; the tomato isa real democrat after all.

Further, the tomato is the basis of ourmost widely used condiments, of whichthe chief is ketchup. Now ketchup wasthe invention (presumably) of a Con-necticut Yankee fired with the energy andzeal which the air of Weathersfield orWaterbury (or maybe it was Hartford)imparts to a man and gives him thewherewithal to carry on at tremendous

rate—in short, to catch up with the pro-cession. He knew what he was about—that first shadowy pioneer, as he slowlypaced up and down the banks of thewinding Connecticut and meditated on theingredients of this great American condi-ment. For why? Note that the tomato isrich in vitamins—being surpassed only byspinach. Now if you have ever watched asmall boy being coaxed by a fond mama toeat spinach, you will at once see whyIchabod passed up spinach and selectedthe blushing tommie as the basic principleof his classic bottled energy.

But enough; to come back to our mut-ton, we have written this exhaustive re-view to show that P. Work has lived up tohis reputation as a careful and intelligentWorker, and that your only hope, if youincline tomato-ward, is to buy and digesthis book.

About a Young GirlJuliet is Twenty. By Jane Abbott '03.

Philadelphia. Lippincott. 1926. 19.7 cm.,pp. 352. Price, $2.

In this story Mrs. Abbott essays a studyof a somewhat more mature herione thanshe has been accustomed to deal with, andin general the story will appeal to a moremature class of readers. The book ismarred by some irritating faults which thewriter seems unable to shake off: words likeoughta, humans, too at the beginning of asentence, the comma fault which so oftengoes with crudeness of effort, the excessiveand ubiquitous dash. An expert proof-reader should have weeded out some wrongplacements of the apostrophe. But thestory is distinctly interesting. Against abackground of the smart set idling awaytheir time and easy money, there are twoor three heroic figures, who convince usby their devotion to certain ideals thatthe world is not going to the dogs. Thebook is distinctly worth reading.
