coRNELDS PROPOSED MEDICAL SCHOOL,

Cornell University was enabled to open its doors
to young women IN 1872 through the generosity OF
Henry w. Sage, at that time resident OF Brooklyn.
He gave $3.50 900 for the purpose Of establishing
coeducaton. He afterward gave the money to
build chapel. and now lives III Ithaca. lie Is the
president of the Board of Trustees, and member of
the Executive Committee. reporter of Tue TRIB-
UNE called on him az the Everett House recently,
to ascertain his personal views and the feeling of
the trustees with regard 10 the proposed medical de-
partment to be established in this city. Mr.. Sage
was very careful not to commit himself to any
statement for publication, saying:
~, No specific plans nave been presented 10
the trustees, rs yet, which would call for any de-
eison by them. understand that DR.. NJ. j:
Roberts of this city, graduate of
Cornell and n medical instructor, was sent
by the gentlemen who lately resigned from
the University of the Cty of New York to Ithaca,
and that he saw President White and some mem
bers of the faculty. There has been no meeting of
the Executive Committee since then, and so nothing
has been done except to talk the matter over III o
purely informal way"
What is the general opinion of the trustees on
the need of a medical department.
When these medical gentlemen shall, present
their plans to the trustees if they to he in tho
line of the interests of the University, and III the
line of sound medical education, shall be glad
TO cooperate with them"
is this proposed addition TO your curriculum an
entirely new prOiectP
, Several years ago the question was raised as TO
the ACCESSIBILITY Of adding such department t0our

Has anyone objected to your having the new de-

." That is n question which will undoubtedly
come up when the subject is formally discussed by
the trustees If these gentlemen show the snpc-
rior advantages arising from having the medical
college here that will doubtless answer that ques-
ton"
Could you have the medical department at
Ithaca"
" If we had the money why not T"
:, But have you sufficient advantages for such
college ~
" We would have if we had more money"
How much money will probably be needed to

And how much if it should be organized at Ith-

That | cannot say; but Ann Arbor. an interior
city, has one of the finest medical colleges in the
country, and SO could we, if VIC had a larger en-
dOwment fund"
DIR, Roberts, who was appointed to confer with
President White, Informed the reporter that his
visit was wholly satisfactory, and that the pres-
dent was heartily in sympathy with the plans of |
the new medical college; but that nothing definite
had been settled yet, and there was nothing 10 be
made public additional TO the statements already
published in TIE TRIBUNE.

David Dudley Field, in n conversation with n
TRIBUNE reporter the other day with regard TO the
DOstponement of the time when the Penal Code
should take effect, said that there was nothing in
the statement of Mr.. Sharpe in the Legislature last
week to the effect that this code would practically
rcpeal the excise laws. The code as originally
drawn drawn Mr.. Field said. contained saving provis-
ion in regard TO municipal corporations in general
which would have prevented any such result. But
to make dOubly sure, amendments covering this
very point had been intro uced at his suggestion
and with his approval. These amendments had
been passed by the Assembly. and if they had been
passed by the Senate also last week, they would
have become at once part of the Penal Code.
The judiciary Committee had understood this and
approved it but the " scare arose in the Senate
when they were absent and there one
present TO explain.
Mr. Field stated the circumstances that brought
about the postponement Of the operation of the
Penal Code. Several weeks ago DIstrict-AttOrney
Mcka)n met him and said that he wanted such a
pOstpOnement; that his blanks were not ready and
he had not had an opportunity properly to familiar
was had also with Recorder Smyth, who ex-
pressed the same feeling. Mr.. Field told INN that lie
was willing there should be such pOstpOnement
providing IL was 10 save time in this year: but
that he did not want the code 20 run the ordeal of
another Legislature. 1t was therefore agreed that
the time fixed should be December /. and thus the
code would be in full operation a month before the
next Legislature met And now" Mr. Field said,
it would be rs impossible to repeal the Penal
Code as TO stop Niagara. That is determined mat
ter The question now is as TO the Civil Code"
The Excise Commissioners have been examining the
Penal Code to ascertain if ii affects the present laws
regulating the sale of liquors i'll this city. A state
ment made in the Legislature recently that the
ode would abolish the whole system of excise laws,
although sucn a result was not intended by the
compilcrs of the code. Commissioner Hart
said that he had been unable to find
anything in the code relating to excise mat
tiers which would bear such an Interpretation. All
acts relating the sale of liquors left out of
the CODE but such omission could not destroy the
force of those acts The counsel to the Board of Ex
else mad examined the code also and had failed to
find any section which interfered with the present
excise laws AS at present advised, Commissioner
Hart said, the Excise Board would take no steps TO
influence the Legislature To amend the CODE
