CORNELL UNIVERSITY OPENED.
Tho Resistrauon the Greatest In Its HIS
t0ry-Hazing Must BE stopped.

ITHACA, Sept. 30.--Cornell University was
formally opened at noon to-day by Presi-
dent Jacob Gould Schurman, who delivered
his annual address in the arInory on the
campis. The president announced that
the increase in the registration up to the
hour Of his speech, as compared with the
figures for last year, was the greatest In
the history Of the university. There were
los more old students registered than at
the same hour last year, and i0i more new
students, making total increase OF 2oe.
This years entering class numbers 9ie.
The total attendance In the university
last year, II accounts be taken OF all stu
dents Of all classes and in all courses, ex-
oeeded 1000. but tho regularly enrolled
students. in which number are included
only those who enter the university upon
grade all the year, numbered 1901 last year.
1t is estimated that this figure will be in
CREASED TO $500 this year. The registration
in the separate colleges has not been com =
puted as yet, but it is known that there Is
an increase in the mechanical schools and
in the college OF arts and sciences, but a
falling of In the college OF law. ..
President Schurman expressed himself
very vigorously on the subject OF college
hazing. He said:
Az SOTHeu university pue one VHctiSS
for which men are sent away, never TO return
here again, is hazing, and by hazing ]
mean any interference with the persona
liberty OF, any student, do not make any
threats, but do state TO you the rule and
the definition Of the term involved. 1t ia a
notorious fact that indisoriminate rushing
has already begun. Old students ought to
see that this is stopped; they ought not to
tolerate IT, II continued it will result in
injuries, as last year. or fatality as several
years ago. repeat TO you to see 10 1t that
nothing occurs which might reflect upon the
fair name Of the university You are the
custodians OF Cornell's good name"
Some details OF two important bequests
to the university were announced by Presi :
dent Schurman. The Guiteau fund for
the aid Of the students will amount to a
little over $4,000. Concerning the will
Of the late Willard Fiske, President Schur-
man said that he was not at liberty to tell
all that he knew about 1t. but that he would
say that .the bulk Of the large estate will
come TO Cornell for the benefit OF the uni =
versity library" Mr.. Fiske was at one
time librarian at Cornell. Cornell Is the
residuary legatee under the will and her
interests are being looked after by Horatio
8. White, a professor at Harvard, who, until
a few years ago, was dean OF the faculty at
Cornell. He Ia now on his way to Italy,
where much Of the Fiske fortune was in
vested. Mr.. White is also an executor
under the will

Mr.. HoAR had been in pubic hfe- for
thirty-five years; and every year his
fitness for 1t and his usefulness IN Il IN
creased. His somewhat acute PARTISAN
ship had been mellowed. His disinter-
estedness, sincerity and purity OF char
acter were appreciated by the whole
country. His intellect seemed to grow
keener and moro subtle. His wit was
at It's brightest. His stores OF knowl-
edge were unfailing, His English was
clearer and pobler. In him the best ira
ditions Of the Senate were continued and
embodied, and he was the last Of its
members to preserve the flavor OF the
old-fashioned scholarship.
He virtually gave up the law for poll
tics and remained q poor man to the end
OF his days. He loved books and &C.
cufnulated great library OF them. He
had met many Of the most famous and
interesting people In the United States
and abroad. He was highly cultivated

one; deeply attached to the history Of his
profession and it's old learning.

that native tang, something Of that
provincial character, that individuality
which grows rarer as the cities crowd
the country out.
