most distinguished alumni. is an avowed
candidate for the presidency, the Cornell
Daily Sun. the official organ of the un-
dergraduate body, has followed the lead
of President Schurman in backing the
Hughes boom. thereby facing the same
criticism which 1t last year encountered

Cornell is considered as an adopted son
