Row Of Glorious E1ms.

Upon the campus proper is long row
of glorious eIms. with a tablet to remind
posterity that they are the gift Of farm
er named Ostrander, <who lived in the
neighborhood Of Ithaca. DR.. White told
me that one day. shortly after the con-
tractors began to erect the first building.
as he was walking up the hill with Mr..
Cornell. they met a quaint old character.
who pulled up his team and said:
Good morning, Mr.. White. good morn
ing. Mr.. Cornell You don't know me. but
l know you, and l take a great interest
I'm this college that you are building.
am not rich enough to contribute any
money. but I've got a lot OF mighty fine
young elms that I'll give you to fix up
the grounds. and I'll haul 'em in any day
II you'll show me where you want 'em
set out"
And he was as good as his word. There
are fifty seven altogether, / believe. of
these wonderful trees, now about half a
century old, all of them presented and
set out where they stand by Farmer Os-
trander.
President Schurman has been stirring
up the Greek letter fraternities, which
are unusually numerous and strong at
Cornell by demonstrating that they fur
nish more than their share of delinquent
students. and he has been appealing to
their pride to induce them to bring up
the standard of scholarship among their
members to the same grade as that main

tunate enough. or have been unwilling, to
Join q fraternity.
Point Against Fraternities.
The statistics of the registrar show
that during the college year of 19O9-1O
about one-fourth Of the undergraduate
population belonged to Greek letter fra
ternities or clubs. whose members are
elected because they are congenial and
popular and are expected to do credit to
and increase the reputation OF the or
ganisations. During the same college
year 1S5 undergraduates were busted

Glens and Waterfalls.

Nor is the service of the glens and
waterfalls at Cornell entirely esthetic.
The utilitarian side is equally important.
The brooks that come tumbling down those
picturesque paths which they have worn
tor their own escape in the side of the
ridge that incleses Cayuga lake provide
light and power for the students and for
the town which lies along the base of the
ridge at the foot of the lake And those
little streams are a source of revenue to
the university treasury, as we'll as a
raining school for the college of en-
cheering. Practical use is made of them.
The power houses are filled with the latest
models of electrical apparatus.
The open fields of the 1,1G0 acres COM
prised in the campus at Cornell are Gull
tivated on a scientific and theoretical
plan under the direction of the College
of Agriculture, and afford an opportunity
for research and experiment In plant
culture that Is very important. There are
200 acres Of playground. which during
the 'leafy'' month of June have been the
scenes OF great activity and enjoyment
There are romantic walks through the
| woods and among the glens. several of
them associated with great and good men
who have taken their exercise there. ]
did not see or hear of any romances con-
nected with them. although Cornell has
been a co-educational institution for
nearly half century.
The glens are crossed by picturesque
bridges and belt line of street cars en-
circles the university buildings. Each
alternate car goes In different direc-
ton, but they always meet in front of
the hotel down town. Some of the build
ings are very ugly The latest which
| was erected by bequest from the late
Goodwin Smith. is a great success archi
tecturally and makes the adjoining struc-
lures look insignificant 1t is of an old
Flemish design. with a high, steep roof,
and resembles several Of the ancient pal

at Cornell Is not to be admired. although
some OF the buildings are not as bad As

Makes Personal Appeal.

Realizing all this. yet knowing that
too many Of our students are yielding
to the social temptations OF the chapter
houses at a sacrifice of scholarship. l
called the fraternity men together last
year and told them Of the danger. l re-
minded them that every excellent institu-
ton has the defect of its good qualities.
and asked them to help me to overcome
those defects by bringing up the scholar
ship of their members. I appealed to the
upper class men to exercise stricter su-
pervision over the habits of study of the
under class men. and appealed to fra
ternity pride I believe that the situa-
ton is appreciated. My admonition was
cordially received by the members of the
fraternities, and I hope we may be able
to reconcile the advantages Of fraternity
life and academic standing

CHAPTER VI-Continued.

A fear of the unreal possessed me, and.
drawing back with q shiver. stole hastily
away from the spot My one thought
was to put as much ground behind me as
possible-to get back to the shelter OF the
hut. But now q new obstacle confronted
me. AS forsook my old route around
the buildings and struck inland became
conscious Of a strange murmur yelling
out of a loose cluster Of bowldsrs a yard
or so down the path. At first I took 1t
for the moaning Of the wind. which was
now sweeping freshly over the pasture:
then q curious strain OF meaning seemed
to grow into it. and suddenly I realized
that 1t was made by voices-hun,an voices.
but SO blurred by distance and an eerfe
culver of undertones as to have no hui
man depth. Coming upon the heels OF my
late adventure, the ghostly echoes Slapped
my last ounce of courage. l turned and
fled blindly toward the hut.
And as I ran from the sleeping house
behind me there rose a wild shrek of
agony. of fear unutterable. 1t seemed as
though the very demons OF hell were CIV
ing tongue. l sped up the final stretch.
half crazed with terror, and, staggering
across the threshold. barred the door
against the haunted night.

White Mans Hope" Says He Will
Whip Johnson Sure,


TULSA. Okla, February S.-No attempt
will be made to make a match between
Jack johnson and Carl Morris under
eighteen months. according to Frank h.
Ufer. the oil magnate. who is managing
the white mans hope" In the mean
while Morrta will fight such heavyweights
Of his class as care to go against him,
barring negro fighters. Morris is a
southerner and has AN antipathy against
hghting with negroes and does not want
to meet any of the black race but john
son.
Like Cfer his manager, Morris Is con-
hdent he will whip Johnson whenever
they get together. He said the other
day:
If I was not certain can whip John
son would quit this fighting business at
once and go back to railroading"
Pending the establishing OF his training
camp here, Morris Is training regularly
In his old quarters at Sapulpa. He has
reduced his weight to 2i5 pounds, and
tneie IS not an ounce OF surplus flesh on
ms body. For man Of his size Morris
Is remarkably nfmble on his feet. In
fact, he shows more activity than many
q lightweight
So far Gfer has not decided upon a
training manager for Morris. although he
mas many men under consideration. Con
Riley OF Cincinnati has been recommend
ed, and he and Ufer are in correspond
ence over an engagement. Riley is anx-
lous to undertake the task of bringing
MOTIFS to tee front. Ufer will announce
the name of the trainer shortly.
Morris training camp may be located
at CIRCUITS lake. at the northeast limit
