PLEASES SCHURMAN
Cornell President Sees Good in
Big Philanthropy Scheme.
Believes Congress Should Grant Re-
quest for National Charter
Would Change Only One
Small Detail.

Ithaca. N. Y. In an address
before the Council congress on
Friday night President Jacob Gould
Schurman Of Cornell commended the
scheme for the Rockefeller foundation
for which congress has been asked
for a national charter. President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
of several thousand words to this sub
ject and in summing up he said:
Il recognize that section No of the
bill, which defines the object OF the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say, morals and religion, art
and science. manners and social inter-
course, and all that concerns the po-
litical, economic, and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is a vast field for the exercise Of
philanthropy.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has conceived
vast scheme of philanthropy, for the
benefit OF his fellow citizens and man
kind. His character. ability and or.
ganizing skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully. with incal.
culable benefit and blessing to man.
Kind. It is in the interest Of the ma
tion that he be given a free hand in
the exercise Of his colossal benef-
cence So long as he is active or his
influence remains 1t would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort OF organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does II seem nee
essary to limit the scope Of his benefi-
cence, which Is coextensive with the
efforts OF mankind to attain higher
civilization.
THE only change I would desire to
see In the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might we'll be left close
corporation, If Mr.. Rockefeller SO de-
sires. for a generation. But after that
| time I am confident that 1t would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of a democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi
dent of the United States. with the
advice and consent of the senate, ol
selected by some other high abiding
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peo
pie of the United States. whose wei
fare is the primary object of the i'm
mense and glorious benefaction."

BARRY DOES NOT
BLAME TOWNSEND

While admitting that the tumble OF
fielder Townsend cost the National
Guard the baseball game with the Pa
cific fleets picked nine Sunday after
noon, Sergeant Barry does not criti-
CHE the player anG requests that no
one else do so. Townsend, he de-
clares, played the game with all his
might and the tumble at the close was
one of those unfortunate things that
may happen to anyone. Had it oc-
Cured at any other stage of the game,
it would hardly have been noticed but
coming when it did, it meant every
thing and stood out as big as whole
inning.
1T was Townsend's playing that
saved the game for us on Saturday, -
says Barry, and he played a Deauti-
full game on Sunday. Nobody has a
right to feel sore on account of the
failure to hold the ball at the end OF
the game, for it was pure accident.
THE National Guard baseball team is
the squarest bunch ofplayers ever
gotten together anywhere. Every
man plays the game to the limit, and
if errors occur they are genuine errors
and no mistake"
Though defeated by the picked nine
of the Pacific fleet, the National Guaro
team still has big chip on its Shout
der and is waiting to hear a noise like
business from out Leilehua way.
