To-day's Springfield Republican says: w lille

I the Oxford and Cambridge universities
England, and Edinburg university, Scotland,

land. They arrived in New York Thursday
and we're given a reception at the c3sociation

ers, who IS accompanied by Regi-
maid Radcliffe and wife of London,
wealthy people prominent in Chris
tian work, with George E. Siubb and
others. Delegations are already here from
Kansas, Iowa and three colleges in Minneso-
ia, while others are on their way from Ala
bama, the Carolinc3 and Virginia, one col
lege from the latter State sending fifteen. A
delegation of thirty men is coming from
Oberlin co. university, which will probably
not be excelled as to numbers by more than
three iustitutions-Yale, Princeton and Am
helSt. A dozen fellows are on the ground
from Cornell, and full delegation will fol-
low. The work at that college well illus
| trates how the leaven of this Biblical work is
spreading. Co1lell, as a school, wes
not much interested in religion years ago,
| of the Cornell! association, and is
1 row secretaIy-ele of the intercol-
legiate association, and is to devote
/ his time at work among the colleges with Mr.
Ober, attended the first meetings held at Mt.
Hermon in 1886, and carrying the fire of his
| enthusiasm back to his classmates, kindled a
| fire of good work which has been spreading
| ever since. Incidentally it can be mentioned
| that there is now being erected at Cornell a
$40, OO0 building expressly for the college as
| ISOLATION, due in quite large degree to the
visit of former delegations to the two pre-
vious meetings here. This delegation will
occupy a series of tents on the ridge north
| east OF Stone hall. A happy trio of sum
Drowned fellows came down the river in
canoes, having been couple of weeks COM
ing from Toronto via the Lawrence river,
Cedar Rapids, Lake Champlain and the Con-
necticut, while one came down from Vermont
| on his bicycle.
