SCHURMAN
Cornell President Sees Good in
Big Philanthropy Scheme.
Believes Congress Should Grant Re-
quest for National Charter
Would Change Only Ono
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 q national charter. President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
OF several thousand words to this sub
1ect and In summing up he said:
Il recognize that section No. 2 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 q 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 beneft and blessing to man.
kind. II is In the interest Of the ma
tion that he be given a free hand in
the ex-rcise OF his colossal bench
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it-would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Neith-
er now nor hereafter does 1t 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 10 the total or
partial elimination OF the method Of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left a close
corporation, II Mr.. Rockefeller 30 de-
time / am confident that II would inure
both to the eficiency 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. or
selected by some other high abiding.
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peo-
pie OF the United States. whose vel
fare is the primary object Of the i'm
mense and glorious benefaction."
