From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A man may win widespread and long
enduring fame by founding an institution
of learning which shall bear his name.
The cry Cornell" was heard over Eng
land last week-it had long been familiar
in the United States: and the years have
added luster to the memory of Ezra Cor

n. r.. which was chartered thirty years
ago, and opened for students in 1868, dur
ing the presidency of Andrew johnson.
The name of the Rev. John Harvard Of
England and Massachusetts has been COM
memorated for more than two centuries

in New Haven, Conn, died in England, is
embalmed in Yale University formerly
known as Yale College, which enjoyed his
benefactions in the first quarter OF the
eighteenth century. In California there
is Stanford University. named after a
son Of the late Leland Stanford; there is
the Johns Hopkins University in Balti-
more there is the Vanderbilt University
in Tennessee; there is Vassar College near
Poughkeepsie, called after Matthew Vas

after it's founder. Samuel Williston; and
there are in the country hundreds of other
institutions of the kind named after their
founders.
