Picilett's Retreat.

Pickett's gallant assault had failed
A Confederate battery of Napoleon guns
galloped forward, almost to the En-
mitsburg road, and opened fire on us to
divert attention from the remnants of
Picketts Division, then in rapid re-
rected the fire OF one of my guns, for
lack of a Corporal able to do it, and
Serg't Van Etten performed the same
service with another gun. We exploded
two of their ammunition chests in quick
succession, when tlleir guns fell back

ate troops advancing far to our left,

the portion OF the 69th Pa. in my front

COLLEGE PROFESSORS.
Higher Salaries For University Pro-
fessors. Says Pres. Schurman.

CHICAGO, Feb. H.-Higher sal
aries for university professors were
urged by President Jacob Gould
Schurman OF Cornell University in
talk last night at the annual banquet
of the Chicago Cornell Alumni Asso-
ciatior.
President Schurman also advocated
a more liberal education for lawyers
and students in the technical branches
of learning.
He asserted higher salaries for the
teaching profession were imperative
if the best brains of the country were
to be kept in the universities
Following President Schurman's
speech Professor James Parker Hall
who was toastmaster, suggested that
the Cornell Alumni all over the coun-
try contribute to fund for pension
ing superannuated professors.
VIM. H. French, trustee OF ths
University, urged the alumni to con
tribute $40 each to help wipe out ths
annual deficit of the institution.
