WAGNER EXCLUSION.
BY CORNELL IS HIT.
DR.. o. F. VoIIbehr Proposes
Tablet for Students With
Germans.

DIR. Otto F. Vollbehr, whose famous
collection of incunabula recently was
acquired by the Library of Congress
has wired a protest to President Liv-
ingston Farrand of Cornell University
against action of the university in bar
ring from a World War memorial the
name of Hans Wagner, Cornell alumnus,
who lost his life in the German cause.
After a long conference with the uni
versity's Memorial Committee, President
Farrand last night proposed separate
tablet for Wagner and any other Cornell
men who fought against the allies, ac-
cording to Associated Press dispatches.
Protests In Wire.
Dr. Vollbehr's telegram said: Regret
deeply your attitude and decision not to
include the name of Hans Wagner
among Cornell's immortal heroes who
made the supreme sacrifice for a cause
each believed to be just and sacred"
In letter to The Star, DR.. Vollbehr
today explained his view of the matter.
ITO any thinking man." he wrote,
1.-The standpoint taken by DR.. Farrand
is obviously wrong. while that taken
by the Cornell Daily Sun is the only
Pleads Fairness.
WAR is hell at best One fights for
ones country right or wrong, whether
one wishes to or not, as any draft
dodger found either in the United
States or in any other country during
the World War Again, any man who
influences public opinion has the OBJ
legation himself to be fair and OPEN
minded, certainly not to perpetuate
hate. either by hasty words or even
failure to speak up in a fair and open
minded way am sure but moment
or two of reflection will suffice to have
you agree with me and countless others
on this point"
The Cornell Sun is leading a fight
to have Wagner's name inscribed with
264 other sons of Cornell on the war
tablet President Hoover is expected
to dedicate the memorial May % in an
address telephoned to Ithaca.
