WITH preliminary reports of morethan a thousand freshmen en-rolled, and long lines of older

students stretching from the door of eachcollege secretary's office on the last twodays of last week, the University hasopened. In the Arts College alone it issaid that on Friday morning the registra-tion line reached from the Dean's officemore than half the length of GoldwinSmith Hall, through the north wing, upthe sidewalk to East Avenue, and downEast Avenue nearly to President's Avenue.With the sale of membership tickets in theAthletic Association booming and the firstpage of the Sun recording events muchearlier than in former years, prospectsseem bright for a good year at Cornell.

THE SAGE CHAPEL Preacher for Sep-tember 28 was Dr. Robert E. Speer,secretary of the Presbyterian Board ofForeign Missions. The Rev. Charles F.Wishart, D.D., president of The Collegeof Wooster, Ohio, will preach on October 5.

LECTURES for the week include "TheWork of the Rothamsted ExperimentalStation," by H. J. Page of Harpenden,England, on October 1; and "The Phys-iology of Parasitism," by Professor B. H.Blackman of the Imperial College ofScience, London, England, on October 3.

FULL-FLEDGED membership in the Hole-in-One-Club of the Ithaca Country Clubrecently went to Benjamin E. Sanford,dextrous manager of the Co-Op. Hismashie drive on the 105-yard third holestruck on the edge of the slope and rolleddown into the cup.

AN EMERGENCY storm sewer has beenlaid by the city during the summer to carefor the water which has formerly floodedproperty along Mitchell Street below theBryant Tract.

THE PIER at Sheldrake Point on CayugaLake, where many Ithacans have summerhomes, is to be rebuilt from the proceedsof two summer dances given by the cot-tagers for that purpose. Sheldrake wasfor many years the headquarters for widelyknown yacht races and regattas on theLake.

THE ITHACA-AUBURN Short Line prop-erty, except for two short stretches oftrack, has finally been sold for junk toRubenstein, Morgan & Cooper of Syra-cuse. The two stretches reserved from thesale extend from the city line of Ithacanorth to the Remington power "house andfrom the terminal in Auburn to the Gene-see Street crossing in the Town of Aurelius.

O. LEROY FIELD, Ithaca's veteran bar-ber, known to generations of Cornelliansas the barber who does not shave, attracted

considerable attention as the result of aninterview which appeared in The NewYork Times recently. He advocated pro-fessional standards for barbers and theinclusion of a course in hair treatment inconnection with the barber shop of the newCornell Union building.

THE GENEVA Agricultural ExperimentStation, since last year administered by theUniversity, has received a "Grand Dip-loma" from the Italian Government inrecognition of its work in behalf of thedairy industry of the world. The diplomawas awarded at the first internationaldairy exhibition held at Milan last spring,which Professor William A. Stocking, Jr.,'98 and Mrs. Stocking of the College ofAgriculture attended.

THAT ITHACA has been "wetter" thissummer than at any time since the localoption law went into effect is the recentstatement of the Journal-News. Ithaca isin an enforcement area manned by elevenFederal officers which extends from Penn-sylvania to the Canadian border.

FIFTY DELEGATES attended the sessionsof the New York State Waterways As-sociation held in the auditorium of thenew Ithaca Savings Bank Building onSeptember 5 and 6. Among the subjectsdiscussed were how the Barge Canal canbe made more useful to the citizens of theState, and the proposed coal tipple atIthaca.

THE ITHACA SAVINGS BANK on Septem-ber 7 moved over Sunday to its new build-ing at the corner of Tioga and SenecaStreets. The bank's quarters include thebasement, first floor except for entrancehall and elevators to the upper floors, anda mezzanine gallery. They are furnishedwith the most approved bank equipmentand a special ventilating system. Theupper floors of the building are devoted tooffices, many occupied by Cornellians (seeour issue of June 12), the rooms and audi-torium of the Chamber of Commerce, andan attractive restaurant on the fifth floorwhich will accommodate one hundred.This is in charge of Miss Mercedes M.Seaman '23.

FOR THE SECOND TIME in as many years"Miss Ithaca" has won the beauty contestsponsored by a Syracuse newspaper at theState Fair, and has been crowned "MissCentral New York." This year it wasMiss Marion Pino, who graduated fromIthaca High School last June; last year itwas Miss Helen Stout.

A CACHE of black powder and flashlightpowder, thought to have been a relic ofthe days when the Wharton Company wasproducing movies in Ithaca, was found

near the bridge over Six-Mile Creek justwest of the City Hospital on September 11.The Fire Department immediately dumpedthe explosives in the Lake to preventaccident, but two days later a wanderernear the Cascadilla Recreation Buildingsustained severe burns when he touched offa flashlight bomb which had been droppedthere by mistake.

THE KAPPA SIGMA House at 600 Uni-versity Avenue was slightly damaged byfire on September 25. Discovered in theattic, the fire is thought to have started ina partition from a torch being used on theoutside to remove paint.

Two THOUSAND undergraduates madeBailey Hall ring with songs and cheers asthey gathered for a pre-registrati onathletic rally on September 25. Thespeakers were John N. Ostrom '77, coachand commodore of the first Cornell crewto win an intercollegiate regatta, RomeynBerry '04, Professor Charles L. Durham'99, and Coach Dobie. The latter'sspeech consisted of gloomy predictionsabout the football season, which werevociferously applauded.

RUSHING RULES for fraternities, agreedto by every house, provide for no com-munication with freshmen from Septem-ber 1 to September 29, "reasonable com-munication" for making dates from Sep-tember 29, and no rushing or pledgingbefore noon of October 1.

Enrollment About 5,000

More Stringent Entrance RequirementsKeep Numbers Down in Over-

crowded Departments.

SPORT STUFFPresident Advises Freshmen

Although final registration figures havenot yet been given out, it is apparent thatadmission was refused to more prospectivefreshmen this year than ever before. Thisis a part of the effort being made to keepenrollment at its present level, approxi-mately five thousand.

The College of Arts and Sciences hasbeen, as usual, the point of extreme pres-sure in registration, and has set a newrecord for the number of prospectivestudents turned from its doors. In ac-cordance with University ruling, theclamps were tightened on August I,though some few exceptional students arealways provided for after that date, be-cause of vacancies in the ranks of thosewho have asked for registration blanks.

University authorities have recognizedfor some time that registration in Arts andSciences has been entirely too large tosecure the most beneficial results, andhence more stringent rules and entrancerequirements have been applied to it thanto the other colleges. Engineering num-bers an enrollment nearly as high, thoughsubject to great fluctuation, but does notas yet present a problem.

Medicine and Architecture, two of thesmallest colleges in the University, areusually flooded with about four times theapplications which they can accommodate,but the situation here is easily handledbecause of the comparatively small actualregistration. In these colleges, applicantsare personally scrutinized and admittedaccording to ability, a measure which isimpracticable in a college as large as Artsand Sciences. Law, Veterinary, Medi-cine, and Agriculture have not yet reachedtheir limit and can easily accommodatemore students.

Many who are turned away from thecrowded colleges are accepted in thosewhich have more leeway, especially ifthe individual presents satisfactory en-trance requirements and is a probableasset to the University. In this way alsostudents are often placed in a life fieldfor which they are better fitted, care beingtaken to prevent a milling of students be-tween different colleges during their Uni-versity career. University legislation hasdone much to lessen the number of stu-dents shifting their course from Agricul-ture, for example, in which tuition is freeto New York State residents, to Arts orother colleges. In changing from Agri-culture to a tuition-paying course, stu-dents are required to pay back tuition.

It is apparent this fall more than everthat Cornell, by definitely limiting regis-tration and enforcing more rigid entrancerequirements, is building up a higherscholastic standing and acquiring a betterclass of students,

On Saturday afternoon Mr. GilmourDobie introduced to the Cornell stands adozen or more young men previously un-known as football players. After they haddone their stuff for a little while the Cornellstands united in surprised and delightedcries of "Pleased t' meet cha."

I don't remember their names. Theyaren't Cassidys or Pfanns or Ramseys orSundstroms—not by a tremendous mar-gin—but they looked like willing andeager debutantes; when they tackled theyhit the knees and you could hear therunner grunt way up in Row 76.

This proves (1) that there are lots ofrows in the Cornell Crescent, (2) that itsacoustic properties are remarkable, and (3)that they can tackle.

The St. Bonaventure game on Saturdaybrought a crowd of close to 8,000. This ismore people than had ever attended anyfootball game in Ithaca up to the Michigangame of 1916. It is 2,000 more people thanever before attended an opening game inIthaca.

That fact coupled with the number ofapplications in September indicates arecord-breaking attendance when theclans gather for the formal opening of theCrescent at the time of the Williams gameon October 11.

University Offers Background for UsefulMen and Citizens to Those

Who Will Take It.

START INFORMAL STUDY PLANThe College of Arts and Sciences has

published the names of one hundredtwenty-two seniors and one hundred ninejuniors who have "sixty hours of creditwith a grade of B or better in at leastthirty hours," and are thus eligible tofollow out the plan of informal studyannounced last spring and described in theALUMNI NEWS of April 10. The planprovides for original work in specifiedreadings or experimentation and reports,supervised by the student's upperclassadviser in the fourteen departments ofthe College which have accepted it.Credit is limited to three hours a term,with the exception that seniors may getup to six hours by attending weeklyseminaries and taking a comprehensiveexamination. The departments whichhave adopted the plan for this year areBotany, the Classics, Economics, Edu-cation, Geology, German, Government,History, Mathematics, Physics, Psychol-ogy, Public Speaking, Romance Lang-guages and Zoology.

THE AUDITORIUM of the New SavingsBank Building in Ithaca is being formallydedicated on October 3 with a ball toestablish the nucleus of a fund for buildinga new children's ward at the City Hospital.Wives and families of many members ofthe Faculty and local alumni are interestedin the project.

Good manners, correct speech, andhonest and fair judgment are the qualitieswhich President Farrand told more thansix hundred freshmen that they shouldacquire in their four years at Cornell,when he spoke to them last Thursday, asis his custom on the last day of registra-tion.

"There is no virtue whatever in beinga 'rough-neck'," Dr. Farrand said emphat-ically. "What men most admire, in col-lege as well as afterwards, is a gentleman.Any seeming admiration for rough quali-ties in a man is not genuine."

He declared shoddy speech one of themost shocking things apparent amongcollege men throughout the country.Inability to use the English language cor-rectly is a positive drawback in any walkof life, and a person who has not learnedto express himself correctly by the ageof twenty-five or thirty, he said, finds itpractically impossible to rid himself of hisbad speech habit.

"We don't want a man at Cornell whoseaim is not that of a first-class Americanuniversity—to serve others and the worldbefore himself. As we see other nationsinsisting upon their 'pound of flesh,' itshould be our particular concern to assumea broad, unselfish view in public affairs,and to dedicate ourselves not to the ad-vantage of the few but for the benefit ofthe great body politic of the world."

The most pernicious of all habits at-taching to undergraduates, Dr. Farrandbelieves, is that of "getting by"—doingjust what the institution demands of themand no more. He advised forming in-stead the habit of accomplishment, of at-tacking everything with energy, not forpersonal prestige and recognition, but withthe idea that, in really accomplishing, oneis making himself useful and desireable tothe world at large.

The President upheld extracurricularactivities as an important part of collegelife, provided the real purpose of a collegeeducation, to prepare for life and to becomea useful American citizen, is not subordin-ated.

"This Cornell is a little world in itself,and you are expected to do your part inmaintaining it. Don't get the idea thatany one thing is the most important.Don't think that athletics or any otheractivity is the sole purpose of your beinghere.

"The real thing that a student should getout of his four years of opportunity, is tomake himself a useful man and citizen.Be able to make yourselves of some useto the world.

"Take your job as a student seriously,and don't trifle. Don't get the idea thatyou are all-important, but rather that it

Page 5: Stringent Entrance Requirements Reduce - Cornell University

C O R N E L L A L U M N I N E W S 23

is the time through which you are livingwhich is all-important."

First among the characteristics whichthe President pointed out to be strivenfor was invariable personal honesty.

"The next most important point is thepower of forming solid judgment in theface of varied problems. A studentshould learn to be able to weigh the dif-ferent elements of any problem, to seeclearly and to view broadly. The narrowman cannot form a sound judgment be-cause he cannot see all aspects of a question.Put yourself in the other man's place, seethe other side, and only then will youhave sound judgment. Absolutely honestthinking and a point of broad view injudgment—get these and you are goingto be a useful man.

"We are spreading before you the back-ground of a well-grounded man, in theadvantages which Cornell has to offer.We can't inject it into you, but it is therefor you to take, if you want it."

Team Wins OpenerThe football team opened the season

Saturday, defeating St. Bonaventure by ascore of 56 to o, and putting up a betterexhibition than had been anticipated. Asa team, they seemed a little farther ad-vanced than one might have expected,considering the absence of the leaders ofrecent years, and the usual shifting andexperimenting characteristic of the earlyweeks.

If no players with potentialities ap-proaching some of the figures who somaterially helped the team through threeundefeated seasons were uncovered in thisgame, one felt nevertheless that the squadhad the makings of a capable team. Theplay was naturally ragged in spots, themomentum uneven. At times the paceslackened a little and there was of coursea good bit of individual crudeness. Thetackling, however, was effective for thistime of the year; the ball was followedfairly closely, and on several occasionsthere was a demonstration of instinctivefootball sense. For instance, the wayhis team-mates formed about Wade whenhe picked up Green's fumble on Cornell'sten-yard line and dashed down the field fora touchdown. He was protected on bothflanks and in the rear, and no opponentsucceeded in laying hands on him.

Only three regulars from last year'steam started the game: Kearney, lefttackle; Morris, left guard; and Kneen,right end. Early in the first period Affeldwent in at center replacing Reed, and inthe last period Patterson, last year's righthalfback, ran the team as quarterback.Walter Whetstone, Jr., substitute full-back last year, started at quarterback andcalled signals for three periods. CaptainFrank Henderson stayed on the bench.Several others who have been on TeamsOne and Two were kept out of this gamebecause of minor injuries.

Coach Dobie started Fennell, one oflast year's second ends, on the left flank;Kearney was at left tackle, Morris at leftguard, Reed at center, Trousdell, anotherrecruit from the 1923 second team, atright guard, followed by Munns, halfbackon the freshman team last fall, who hasbeen shifted to the line. Hill, secondstring man last season, started at righttackle and Kneen, a regular, was on theright wing.

The backfield was composed of Whet-stone, Wester, and Tilton, halfbacks andWade, fullback. The last three weresubstitutes last season. Hokelman, thefreshman quarterback last fall, went in forTilton in the second period, and in thefinal quarter Patterson was substitutedfor Whetstone, and Friend, Robbins, andIsaly for Wester, Hokelman, and Wade.

The team scored eight touchdowns; thefirst on a forward pass, Whetstone toWester, which the later caught shoulderhigh as he stepped across the line. Thisoccurred about five minutes after play hadstarted and after St. Bonaventure hadhalted one drive and seemed about tostop another on the ten-yard line. Theother touchdowns were made largely byrushing, though four or five successfulpasses helped out. One touchdownfollowed a nice piece of work in blockingand recovering a punt, Affeld falling onthe ball after a scramble across the track.A goal from placement from the twenty-yard line, kicked by Whetstone in thefirst period, and five points after touch-downs, all made by placement goals,completed the total. Two touchdownswere made in the first and second periods,three in the third, and one in the fourth.

The visitors made only two first downs,but they came mighty near crossing thegoal line in the second period, when, on akick off, MacAndrews was through thewhole team before they knew what wasgoing on. He dashed madly down thefield, but Whetstone followed in hotpursuit, and nailed him on the ten-yardline. The Saints were on the ten-yardline on another occasion, only to lose anopportunity when Green fumbled andWade ran ninety yards for a score.

Estimates of individual players againstsuch opposition are of little value. Westermade a favorable impression as a fast,hard running back, with considerabledrive, and with the knack of keeping hisfeet. Whetstone, Hokelman, and Tiltonshowed promise, and Wade wat useful.Patterson made several pretty gains, andIsaly was speedy and got away quickly.Whetstone's kicking was good; with thewind he drove more than one punt sixtyyards. Brown, a newcomer at left end,showed some promise while Affeld, Kear-ney, Morris, Kneen, Munns, and Hill alsoattracted attention.

St. Bonaventure was in poor physicalcondition and offered no more effectiveopposition than last year. Thus the gamewas not the sort of contest really to testthe capacity of individual players. Onemay hazard the guess that outstandingfigures will be lacking this year and thatwe must look to highly developed andcoordinated team play as an offset.

Between seven and eight thousand per-sons watched the game, the largest firstgame crowd on record. They were massedin the center section, which seats 2,500, inthe sections immediately adjoining, andin the boxes, and every spectator had a

bully view of Ihe game. But it wouldbe hard to convince the dozen or morenewspaper men who christened the newpress box that there was any other placeon the field quite so satisfying. TheGraduate Manager deserves a laurelwreath or something for providing thenewspaper men with facilities unsurpassedanywhere.

Incidentally the cheering was moreeffective than usual; instead of cheeringby sections, the whole crowd cheered inunison, four cheerleaders working at onetime.

Walking to Train Track MenCross country runners must use their

legs as their only vehicle of transportduring the training season. Riding inautomobiles and street cars is strictlytaboo, under a recent order issued by JackMoakley, to the squad of seventy-fivecandidates for this year's team. Thedistance runners are going back to thesterner training regime of a simpler era, anera which produced some of the greatestdistance runners in collegiate history. Itused to be said by those by whom Cornell'sgreat success in running was both admiredand envied, that the physiography ofIthaca lent itself admirably to the de-velopment of wind and muscles; that thehardihood and stamina of Cornell's run-ners were due in part to their trudging upand over the hills. Came then the flivverand the War, different times and differentcustoms. But it is now time to go back,Coach Moakley thinks, and the man whoviolates the orders will be out of luck.

Weekly races have begun. There arefew men of class in the group, but hardwork and intensive preparation may over-come this handicap. Edward G. Kirby,one time mile champion, and winner of the

half-mile run at the recent national A. A.U. senior championships, is eligible, andhas begun training. John A. Glick, of lastyear's team, is captain. Varsity menavailable besides Glick and Kirby areOvenshine, Craig, Prytherch, and For-schmeidt.

LITERARY REVIEW

A Thrilling NarrativeThe White Devil of the Black Sea. By

Lewis Stanton Palen Όo. New York.Minton, Balch & Co. 1924. 21.3 cm., pp.xx, 298. Front. Price, $3.

Although it must be admitted that thethrills come rather in the first part than inthe later part of this book, there are enoughof them all the way through. Seldom inthis age of the world is a human beingcalled upon to go through what this mandid. The narrative brings it home to usthat Russia is still in the Middle Ages orworse.

The White Devil was a young noble-man, apparently a prince, who in 1900, atthe age of eleven, entered the Pages'Corps of the Czar. Always a practicaljoker, he was fond of everything butstudy, but became proficient in many linesof sport. In 1907 he joined the ChevalierGuard Regiment of the Dowager EmpressMaria Feodorovna as a volunteer. Heserved in the War with great distinction,was repeatedly wounded, and won therank of major. The story which he tells inthis book begins early in 1917, when theRevolution and Kerenski's Order No. 1,as Palen says, began the shooting frombehind, and made the brave Russianofficers who had tried to carry on, "duringthe following days of Bolshevism simplyhunted animals."

The first part of the story takes place atOrenburg, where the family of M., theWhite Devil, had a large estate. One ofthe most interesting parts is the story ofthe blowing up of a vodka factory wherethere was supply equivalent to twentymillion bottles of ninety p^r cent spirit.The sight of the crowds dstermined to"save" some of the burning liquor musthave been pathetic as well as terrible.Over three hundred were burned, killed orwounded.

At length the Bolsheviki got him, stoodhim up by a wall, and shot him dead—asthey supposed. After the company hadgone, he sprang up, ran for the fence,cleared it and landed in the arms of twoBolshevik guards. Miracle after miraclehappens. In the journey which he nowmakes he has to suffer incredible hardships.Back in Moscow he becomes chauffeur tothe Kremlin, and on one occasion isordered to convey Lenin, Trotzky, Sverd-loff, Kalinin, and Kameneff from theKremlin to a suburban palace for a con-ference. He plots with his accomplices tohave the car run into a ravine. "But the

ways of Providence are inscrutable." Itrains both on the just and on the unjust.An uprising of the Social Revolutionistscaused the conference to be postponed,and this opportunity to alter the course ofBolshevik Russian history was lost for-ever.

Mr. Palen explains that this narrativeis told by M. himself and that Palen isonly the translator. The English style isgood. M. has told his story simply andmodestly. The tale is one of the most re-markable of those told thus far which infuture years will be relied on to give theWestern world true pictures of the crimesand atrocities of the Bolsheviki in acountry they have done their best to ruin.

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE JONESES

WALES has come into unusual publicnotice recently because of the

attractive personality of H. R. H. thePrince. The use of the word Wales as asynonym is because of the convenience ofa five-letter word for the headlines. Wehad not, however, intended to speak ofthe Prince, but of the country from whichhe derives his title and of which he is anative only by a figure of speech.

Wales, the land of the Joneses, thethe Davises, the Davies, the Thomases,the. Llewellyns, the Lloyds, and a longline of names more difficult of pronuncia-tion, has a language of its own, unusualsounding and still more curious looking astranslated into English characters. Itis one of the branches of Celtic, the long-est of the group to be able to survive be-cause of the natural hazards of the Welshmountains. It is slowly but surely goingthe way of the national languages of Ire-land and Scotland. Eventually it will bethe proud possession of a few learnedgentlemen, perhaps of other nationalities,who have learned it for mental disciplineand laryngial exercise. The Celtic tonguesare passing and unless the universities andtheir libraries snap into action promptly,and salvage what they can of the speci-mens, Celtic will within a few generationsbecome a museum subject along with thecelebrated dodo and the passenger pigeon.

The Celts possess a proud history and apowerful, interesting, and valuable litera-ture. Within the memory of living men

the numbers of those that can speak andread the language have markedly de-creased. The second generation of Welsh-Amercans rarely understand a word of it,the fourth never.

We bring our problem primarily to oursubscribers by the name of Jones and theother less frequent Welsh surnames, andat the same time, with less immediateexpectations to the Macs, the Mcs and theO's of the other Celtic races.

The University is endeavoring to buildup a Celtic library. Only limited funds areavailable for purchases. Celtic books inpossession of Celtic-American families are,generally speaking, relegated to the attic.

We therefore address our subscriberswho are of Celtic origin, with the requestthat if they have any of these Celtictreasures in their possession and are un-able to make use of them, they communi-cate with Professor Clark S. Northup, incare of THE COKNELL ALUMNI NEWS.

The Celtic Library at Cornell Univer-sity will be used. It is near the maincenters of Celtic culture in America, suchas Utica, Wilkes-Barre, and Bethlehem.The present possessors of such volumeswill be enabled to do more for Celticculture through Cornell than they canthrough their attics.
