that / appreciate to the full the fact
that the highest work of all VIII
never be affected one way or the
other by any question of compensa-
ton. And much of the work which is
really best for the nation must from
the very nature of things be non
remunerative as compared with the
work of the ordinary industries and
vocations. Nor would it ever be pos
sible Or desirable that the rewards OF
transcendent success in scholarship
should even approximate, from
monetary standpoint, the rewards in
other vocations. But it is also true
that the effect upon ambitious minds
can not but be bad if as a people we
show our very slight regard for
scholarly achievement by making no
provision at all for its reward. The
chief use of the increased money
value of the scholars prize would be
the index thereby afforded of the re-
spect in which it was popularity held.
The American scientist, the American
scholar, should have the chance at
least of winning such prizes as are
open to his successful brother in Ger
many, England or France. where the
rewards paid for firSt-claSS scholarly
achievement are as much above those
paid in this country as our rewards
for first-class achievement in industry
or law are above <hose paid abroad.
But of course, what counts in
finitely more than any possible out
side reward is the spirit of the work.

still into the minds of the scholars
themselves a true appreciation of real
as distinguished from sham success.
In productive scholarship, in the
scholarship which adds by it's work
to the sum of substantial achievement
with which the country is to be credit
ed, it is only first-class work that
counts. In this field the smallest
amount of really firSt-class work is
worth all the second-class work that
can possibly be produced, and to have
done such work is in itself the fullest
and ampleSt reward to the man pro-

CORNELL PULLS
TO EASY VICTORY
Winner Of. Varsity and
Freshman Fights.
HONORS TO SYRACUSE
She Gets the Decision in the Varsity
Four.0ar Race. The Three Con-
tests Rowed Under Ideal Con-
ditions Over the Hudson
River Course.
(By the Associated Press. }

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June Is
ter-collegiate rowing affairs today by
winning with utmost ease the Varsity
eight-oar and Freshman eight-oar
races in the inter- collegiate regatta.
Syracuse was given the decision in the
Varsity four-oar race, after senSa-
tional and exasperating "mix-up' in
which even the judges boat gave out
conflicting decision, the victory being
given first to Cornell, although Syra-
cuSe came in first.
The hesitation over the decision was
due TO two facts, first, that some Of
those on the judges boat were in doubt
as to the identity of the leading crews
as they passed the finish mark; sec
ond, that at the outset of the race
Syracuse is declared to have passed
out of her course in front of Colum-
bia, and there was claim of n dis
qualifying foul against her. After a
long delay the decision was reversed
and declared in favor of Syracuse.
The three races were rowed under
ideal conditions over the beautiful and
historic Hudson river course.
In the Varsity race, the feature of
the day, Cornell, never pressed after
the first quarter had been COW
cred rowed across the finish line a
dozen lengths or more in front of tho
crew from Syracuse which surprised
the aquatic world by winning this
event last year Thoroughly beaten.
but struggling to the last limit of en-
durance for the honors of third place,
Georgetown and Columbia swept by
the Judges boat almost together,
Georgetown having the slightest of adj
vantages. Back in the ruck came
Pennsylvania, and last of all finished
Wisconsin, whose chances had been
favorably considered by the rowing
experts.
Cornell won the Freshman race. for

again having Syracuse as her nearest
competitor. The order of the finish IN
last years Freshman race was just the
reverse, Syracuse having won and
having been considered a strong factor
in today's two mile sprint.
In the four-oared Varsity race,
Syracuse won with Cornell second.
Cornell and Syracuse thus almost
evenly dividing the hoHors of the day,
the former getting two firsts and a
second, and the latter one first and
two seconds Wisconsin furnished a
big surprise, by finishing last.

The station also finds that the selec-

means of tanning mill or by hand,
does not seem to promise anything in
the way of permanent improvement in
wheat. In normal seasons there is lit
tie if any temporary gain. In extreme
~ unfavorable seasons the extra
amount of food furnished the young
plant by the large kernel places it in a
position to withstand greater hardship
and is accordingly an advantage to it.
The concern of the plant breeder

therefore, is considered by the station
TO be with the plant as a whole. That
there is wide variation in the produc-
tiyity of Individual wneat plants is
very apparent Much Of this variation
is due to environment. some of it to
hereGity. The problem is to separate
the transitory and accidental from the
hereditary and permanent. The cut
