4 NEW PROFESSORSHIP FOR THE COR
NELL UNIVERSITY.

70 the EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: Some time since Joseph Selgman, esq
well known as Leading banker, and few associates,
established "Professorshp OF Hebrew and oriental
Literature and History I'm Cornell University at Ithaca
The Trustees called TO the proiessorshIp thus en-
dowed Felix Adler Ph. d. OF this city. DR.. Adler Is
sop OF the gushed Rabbi Adler and was graduated
with distinction few years since at our own Columbia
College He afterward studied Heidelberg where be
took his Doetorate and more recently delivered course
OF lectures in this city OF great interest TO phologsts
and Oriental scholars The appointment is especially
interesting as an evidence the Trustees Of Cornell
University intend to live fully up 70 their charter
which declares persons of ali religious sect or OF
no religious Sect shall be equally eligible 20 all Offices
and appointments" That this policy, though frequently
attacked. has taken firm hold upon people genera4y
will be seen by the fact that the institution has received
since its organization gifts amounting 20 over mioh
and a half OF dollars from men OF all shades
OF religious thought Mr. Cornell, the principal benefac-
tor Is bv education Quaker. Mr. sage, VINO has given
s3ooOo0 Is Congregationalist. Mr. McGraw, who has
gwen about sl5OOOO affiliated with the Methodists.
Mr. Hiram sbley who has given $4,000 is an Epseo-
palian OF the Evangelical School Another gentleman
who has given 100000, EDscopallan OF the Broad
Church School. Godwin Smith, who has worked anu
o,yan from the first Is member OF the Church OF En-
gland william Kelly. who gave the mathemaucal
ubrary. was a Baptist. The gentleman who founded
rho Irniverstv Religious Lectureship open to all denom-
nations belongs to no church; and the recent GIT
comes from highly respected members OK the jewish
persuasion II would seem, then, that those gentlemen
were in error who prophesied tnat the University must
fail because II had not persons and pulps of any
angle denomination behind IT, but that ITS cathoelJ
has been the greatest cause Of its success.
