BRIDE SHOWS COURAGE
IN TIME Of GREAT PERIL
Takes Her Place at Pumps
Aboard Sinking Vessel.
All Rescued.

BALTIMORE, Nd. December pa
dispatch to the American from New
York last night tells Of the arrival there
yesterday aboard the American liner St.
Louis. from Southampton, of Capt. Rob-
ert w. Rickson and the crew OF the
three-masted schooner Cox and Green,
which left Baltimore for Bath, Me. No
vember last, laden with coal. and which
had to be abandoned at sea twelve days
later. With Capt. Rickson was his bride
Of two months. formerly Miss Jennie II.
Giff1n Of Maiden, Mass. She was the
heroine Of the wreck.
After the chain bolts had been ripped
out by the angry sea and when the decks
were under water, Mrs. Rickson cour-
ageously took her place with the crew of
six men and cheered them. They worked
at the pumps like a band Of Turks. II
was all the men could do to keep even
with the water that came rushing in.
The details of the wreck are narrowing,
but TEEN with acts Of devotion and
bravery on the part Of the captain s
bride and the crew.
Encounters Gale.
The vessel ran into a severe northwes,
gale two days after sailing out of the
rigging was carried away. AS the wind
increased in velocity the ship was tossed
about like a plaything on the madly surg
Ing seas. Finally the vessel began to
leak. There were four pumps on deck
two hand and two gasoline The crew
| manned these and worked necessarily
But as they gradually became fatigued
and as the leaks grew larger the seepage
began to gain Roadway.
The South Shoals lightship was sighted
November IA. BY this time the decks
were constantly under seas and the men
were working in water up to their
waists. Chain bolts had been ripped out
and the ship was careening along under
what little sail could be kept I'D Water
was several feet deep in the cabin Mrs
Rickson rushed out on deck with the
fainting crew an dcheered them with
| words and her bravery.
Steamer Sighted.
By November Is the ship was halt
waterlogged and absolutely helpless. 3O(
miles from shore, as closely as Capt
Rickson could calculate, having lost all
of his instruments with the exception OF
the chronometer. A steamer bound in

little craft came alongside it was caught
by the heavy sea and dashed against the

The crew put back to the British Sun
and soon returned to the aid of Capt

HAD NOT GIVEN OPINION.

on the other hand. President Wilson de-
clared of Professor Vests plan in his Balt-
more address: The faculty as a whole had
never formed or expressed an opinion upon
its feasibility"
Certain il is that President Wilson wrote
a commendatory preface TO Dean Vests
book, in which he says: Tine plans for
such a college which Professor West has
conceived seem to me in every way sd-
mirable." Many warm friends of the pres
ident now feel. in view Of the present con-
troversy. that it would have been better had
this preface not been written. They feel.
too. that so important a matter as the
founding of graduate college should have
been fully discussed in faculty meetings
and a well defined plan for its manage
ment fixed upon.
An explanation of the presidents preface
to Dean Vests book and OF the fact that
the question of the graduate college regime
was not fully discussed in faculty meet
ings probably lies in the fact that the es-
sential difference between the plan pro-
posed by the dean and that existing in the
presidents mind was not at first so clearly
understood as it later came 10 be.
A graduate college. under the direction OF
Dean West. has existed at Princeton since
1863 when a house known as ''Merwick''
was fitted up as a home for graduate stu.
dents. This accommodates fourteen men.
who have as resident companion Professor
Howard Crosby Butler. Friends Of Pro-
fessor West declare that this experiment
has been most successful and has demon
strated the value of his ideas They de-
clare that the development along social
lines Of some of the students at Merwick
through close association with men Of such
charm Of personality as Professor Butler.
Professor van Dyke. Professor Hibben and
Dean West has been remarkable
on the other hand, il is said that il is
because Of certain results at Merwick that
President Wilson and those VINO support
him have become convinced that the scheme
for a graduate college as conceived by Pro-
fessor West would not serve the best in
terests Of the university as a whole.
There are various regulations FOR the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1910-04-17
THE ADMINISTRATION VIEW.

This is an official statement, signed by
Professor II. 3. Fine. dean OF the faculty
and by Professors Daniels, Conklin and
Caps. and may be taken as voicing the
administration sentiments. These professors
also declare
We question the wisdom OF laying EN-
phasis upon the supervision and direction
OF the life OF graduate students. The con-
ditions of life and residence of the normal
graduate student should be as free and I'M
trammelled as those Of other professional
students. Nor do we believe in the advIsa-
bility of the segregation of graduate stu
dents from the general student body. nor in
the separation of a certain part of this body
OF graduate students from their fellows"
Faculty men who do not approve OF what
