Through Trains to ΊthacaSemi-Centennial Celebration Specials

from Many Points.

The early and complete preparationswhich are being made to bring Coriiel-lians to Ithaca for the Semi-CentennialCelebration are evidencia ry of the greatinterest and enthusiasm which are beingshown in the occasion. In addition tothe numberless automobile parties whichare already ibeing planned, arrangementsare being completed for running specialtrains from ,all important Cornell cen-ters. Special cars for Co,rnell men willleave Boston during the afternoon ofJune 19th, and will arrive in Ithaca earlythe next morning. These trains will stopat all the large cities en route and theCornellians resident therein will join theBoston contingent On this train. Reser-vations and details concerning the NewEngland Special may be obtained fromCreed W. Fulton, 58 Pearl Street, Bos-ton, Mass.

It is also planned to' run special carsfrom St. Louis direct to Ithaca. Reser-vations and information concerning thesecars may be obtained by writing toHarry Nugent, Broadway and "Washing-ton Avenues, St. Louis, Mo. All Cornel-lians living in the St. Louis district, andin the South or West, are invited totravel to Ithaca via this train. It is re-quested that Mr. Nugent be notified atonce by everyone who expects to availhimself of this opportunity to travel withfriends.

At least three special trains will runfrom New York City to Ithaca. In allprobability additional trains will benecessary to handle the large number ofCornellians resident in New York Cityand vicinity \vho will attend the Semi-Centennial Celebration. More ,than fivehundred and fifty Cornellians from thatdistrict ha,ve returned postal cards to theUniversity Secretary, stating that theywill surely be in Ithaca On June 20th.Definite plans for these special trainswill ίbe announced later, the a>ctual de-tails not being complete at this time.

It is also expected that .special trainsfor Ithaca will be run from, the largercities of New York State such as Buf-falo, Albany, Rochester, Binghamtonand Elmira. Definite plans for suchtrains have not yet been formulated butwill probably be arranged by the localclub in each city.

Tell Berna, of the Cutler-HammerCompany, Gwynne Building, Cincinnati,writes that the Southern Ohio delegationof Cornellians will have special Pullman

cars to run from Cincinnati to Ithaca.Information concerning these cars maybe obtained by writing to ^m.

Two special sections will be run viathe Michigan Central E. R, from Chicagoto the little city at the southern end ofCayuga Lake. The first will leave Chi-cago Wednesday evening at 8 o 'clock andwill arrive in Ithaca Thursday noon.The second train will leave Chicago at1 p. m. on Thursday, June 19th, -and wil:reach its destination early Friday morn-ing. In order to procure this secondtrain, it will be necessary to guaranteeat least one hundred and twenty-five pa<*-sengers. The cost of ticket, berth, andtax will be approximately $25. Specialarrangements must be made for the train011 Thursday, and it is therefore requesced that all desiring to make the tripcommunicate at once with Malcolm D.Vail, 110 South Dearborn Street, Chi-cago.

An attempt is being made to procurespecial railroad rates for Cornellians toreturn for the Celebration. It is con-fidently expected that such rates will beobtained. Definite announcement as tothese rates will be made in a later issueof the ALUMNI NEWS.

Captain "William McDermott, of Tuc-son, Arizona, has received the Distin-guished Service Cross which was awardedto his son, Lieutenant Morgan Bland Mc-Dermott '16 (deceased), of the 7th En-gineers. It was awarded for extraordi-nary heroism in action near Cunel,France, on October 20. Accompanied bya soldier, he made a reconnaisance with-in the German lines and captured amachine gun. Under heavy machine gunfire, he gave firstjaid treatment to a•wounded soldier aιιd> continued on hismission until he himself was severelywounded. Nine days later, he died ina hospital,, never having recovered con-sciousness, and was buried in the Ameri-can cemetery between Eaymont 'andSouheme-la-Petite, M euse.

The captain's report .shows that Lieu-tenant McDermott was leading a recon-noitering party at the time, consisting offive men besides himself. They ran intotwo or three hostile machine gun nests;Lieutenant McDermott ordered his mento seek cover and, while studying a map,he was struck in the head by a machine-gun bullet.

Captain McDermott has received a let-ter from Lieutenant C. C. Berry, a fellowofficer of his son, who says in part:

ί ;Mack was a very capable militaryengineer, a fearless soldier, and a gen-tleman. He was the type of Americanwho made history in France. His cita-tion for 'extraordinary heroism7 is whatwe would naturally expect from α manof his character, but his highest decora-tion, for which no citation is necessary,is the little white cross marking hisgrave, 'Mort pour la Patrie.'

THE VALUE OF A DEGREE

The campaign, for a largely increasedEndowment Fund is now well under w"ay.Every branch of the committee is atwork, and there is a 'general hope thatsubstantial results may be achieved sothat an announcement can be made atthe Semi-Centennial Celebration.

There is to be no soliciting of fundsfor this purpose in Ithaca at the timeof the Celebration. That work is to bedone before and after the event itself.

There are some urgent reasons why•all donors should make their plans knownbetween now and the Semi-Centennial.Every dollar given now will, help theTrustees to make more satisfactory ar-rangements for next year; and when wesay that the Trustees have not faced sucha crisis as the present one in many, years,if ever before, we indicate how great willbe their ίappreciation of a prompt re-sponse to the appeal.

Another reason may come home to thealumni even more closely than this. The

Cornell degree must ,not suffer because ofthe financial1 stress of the war aaid recon-struction periods. There is real dangerthat it will suffer unless funds areforthcoming to keep the instructing staffup to the high grade that has alwaysbeen maintained, and to provide ade-quate supplies and facilities for carryingon the most effective instruction. And ifthe degree of to-day suffers, in ^popularestimation the degrees of former yearsare going to suffer quite as much. Cor-nell alumni cannot afford, as a purelybusiness proposition, to tolerate any con-ditions which will endanger the vakieor the reputation of Cornell's degrees.And sentiment should be a powerful re-infoice incnt to the business considera-tion.

Let us here and now resolve, then,that Cornell shall never go back; thather standards shall continually advancethat she shall meet the new era equippedat all points to satisfy the most exact-ing demands that the new education shallput upon her.

And this should call for no excessiveamount of sacrifice or self-denial. Thereis money enough among our alumni tokeep Cornell in the front rank of uni-,versities. But even if it does demandself-denial ΐwid sacrifice, in what bettercause can these be exhibited? Surelya state of war is_ not always needed totest our mettle; peace hath her conquestsand her victories as well. It is hard toconceive of any better use for moneythan to procure a spread of intelligence—which is sure to make the world betteras well as wiser; of this there is nolonger any doubt.

The Cornellian Council is sending outthis week an appeal to every living Cor-nellian to enroll in the army of bene-factors of Alma Mater—to increase thesubscription already made or to makeone for the first time. No sum is toosmall to be welcome or too large for the-University to put it to good use.

The more you give to Cornell themore deeply interested you will becomein her welfare. And am interest -of thiskind is mutually beneficial.

THE CHICAGO CLUB

George M. Chapman, secretary of theCornell University Association of Chi-cago, writes that the club ιat its annualdinner piassed resolutions on the deathof Professor Mor.se Stephens. The clubwill run its luncheons weekly up to June12 and for the 19th will move the loca-tion to Ithaca.

A MEMORIAL TABLET

The following is an excerpt from ailetter from Professor E. E. King, ofthe Department of Apiculture, who is-still an aviator in Texas, to a friend inIthaca.

"Lest I forget, I suppose you aremaking plans for a class memorial forthis year. Once I walked down Wash-ington Monument from top to bottomand noticed the various tablets and in-scriptions of different societies and col-leges. I saw some from various Easterncolleges. If I remember correctly, Har-vard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and vari-ous other universities had tablets but Idid not see aaiy from Cornell. I mighthave missed it, but I 've often thought ifthere was none there, there should beone. This would be a good year for afLiberty' tablet or inscription from Cor-nell to her heroes and her country. Thisis only a suggestion of mine. Will younot suggest it to some one who has alot of influence and see what he thinks.If they put anything there, it should beplanned soon.7 '

SIBLEY WINS TRACK MEET

Sibley College romped away with theintercollege track meet Saturday onSchoellkopf Field by a score of 103%points to 47 by the Arts College, hernearest opponent,

C O E N E L L A L U M N I N E W S 391

A T H L E T I C SVictory in Track

Cornell defeated the Naval Academy ina track meet at Annapolis last Saturdayby the score of 70 to 53, winning 10 {firstplaces out of the 14 events on the pro-gram. A three-hour rain before themeet soaked the track. Under the cir-cumstances some of ithe performanceswere go<od. The discus and javelinthrow were substituted for the shot andhammer events of the usual intercol-legiate program. There was no 'two-mileracβj but a one-mile relay race wasadded.

Shackleton of Cornell won both the100-yard and the 220-yard dashes, theformer in 10 2-5 seconds, the lattter in.22 3-5 seconds. Cornell, took all threeplaces in the 120-yard high hurdles,which Smith won in 15 3-5 seconds, withWatt second and Treman third. Wattwon the 220-yard low hurdles in 25 1-5,and Smith came in third.

The 440-yard race and the 880 werealso won by Cornellians, Coltman takingthe quarter in 52 2-5 seconds, andO'Leary winning the half-mile run in2.02 3-5. The mile run proved somewhatof a surprise, the Navy springing a verypromising man in Curtis, who won theevent in 4.26, .lowering the Annapolistrack recoϊd. Dresser and MeDermottran for Cornell. Dresser forced the pacefor a good part of the distance but Me-Dermott passed him toward the end of ,the race, coming in second.

Perhaps the most spectacular event ofthe day was the one-mile relay race,which Mayer won in the last lap by a fineburst of speed. Gateley and Seelbach,the first two Cornell men, lost groundto the Middies, and though Coltman,Cornell's third runner, made up some ofthe distance, Mayer had a twenty-yardhandicap when he took up the running.He ran a fine race, however, and wonfor Cornell.

The Naval Academy team won bothweight events, and Benner of the Navybeaΐ Felter of Cornell in the runningbroad jump, clearing 21 ft. 6 1-4 inches.

Ramsay of Cornell with a jump of 5ft. 9 1-2 in. won the running high jumpand Grigson, who cleared li ft., won thepole vault. Eeavis and Felter of Cor-nell and Power and Farwell of the Navywere second.

The team has begun its final prepara-tions for the Intercollegiate Champion-ship meet at Cambridge on May 30 and31.

The Cornell CrewsThe Cornell and Princeton varsity and

freshman crews will meet Saturday in aregatta on Cayuga Lake, as one of thefeatures of the Spring Day program.These are the only races scheduled forthe Cornell crews this year. Both raceswill be over the usual two-mile courseon the east side of the lake.

The Cornell crews will row as follows:Varsity: bow, C. A. Stott, 2, L. M.

Shephard, 3, S. W. Cooper, 4, E. E.Brewster, 5, T. T. Buckley, 6, W. B.Daley, 7, D. E. Lounsberry, -stroke, G.Knight, coxswain, J. M. Merz.

Freshman: bow, P. E. Burke, 2, H. K.Kay, 3, P. O. Hoag, 4, P. C. Baldwin,5, P. S. Krug, 6, L. S. Green, 7, E. A.Olney, stroke, O. N. Prenzel, coxswain,A. W. Post.

The varsity crew is made up verylargely of inexperienced oarsmen, onlythe stroke, Knight, having rowed beforein a major crew. Knight was in the19.18 varsity.

Freshman Nine WinsThe Cornell freshman baseball team

won its big game of the year d'ast Satur-day, defeating the Pennsylvania fresh-man, team 011 Percy Field, by the scoreof 11 to 0. Thus in baseball as well astrack the freshman athletes have tri-umphed over their most important ri-vals.

For four innings the game was close,and if one considers the rain-soaked con-dition of the field, well played. Neitherteam scored until the fifth, when Cor-nell put two runs across the plate, ontwo hits, a hit batter and two perfectlyexecuted squeeze plays. The Penn teamblew up then and the balance of thegrame was a walkaway for the Cornellyoungsters, who got five runs in thesixth and four more in the eighth.

Hunsinger Was hit nine times by theCornellians and his support was wretch-ed, eight errors being charged againstPenn, four of them to Dwyer, the short-stop. Andrews, Cornell's pitcher, heldthe visitors to .six hits. He provedsteady and reliable and got himself ontof a number of tight places. He struckout nine batters. Beardslee, the fresh-man catcher, proved one of the strongmen of the team. He caught five mentrying to steal bases and got two hits.The freshman team played with a dashand snap that were refreshing.

The varsity game with Colgate, sched-uled to be played at Hamilton lastSaturday, was called off becanse of rain.

FIFTY—and tortured by regrets

D, O you suppose,'' cried Napoleon,as he stood with Gourgaud onSt. Helena, "do you suppose

when I wake at night I have not bad mo-ments—when I think of what I was andwhat I am?"

He was fifty and at fifty the race of mendivides into two groups. There is the groupof those who look back comfortably over theyears, knowing that each year has. yieldedits measure of progress.

And there is the other group—the menwho think: "If only I had it to do overagain, how much better I could do it.''They look back and say to themselves:<('There was the turning; if only I couldhave seen it' in time." To such men thenight brings its bad moments—when theythink of what they are and what they mighthave been.

To increase the number of men who, atfifty, can be satisfied with their careers, isthe business of the Alexander HamiltonInstitute.

85,000 men enrolledThe Alexander Hamilton Institute was found-

ed ten years ago, with the specific purpose of giv-ing men the all-round knowledge of ModernBusiness that fits them for executive responsi-bility.

It does for men in business what the law schooldoes for men in law; or the medical school formen in medicine.

It has only one Course; it offers no training forspecialized positions of limited opportunity.

In a ten-year period 85,000 men haveenrolled in its Modern Business Course andSerViee. They are representative of everystratum and phase of business. More than13,000 are corporation presidents.

Business and educational authority of thehighest type are represented in the Institute'sAdvisory Council.

This Council consists of Frank A. Vander-lίpj, President of the National City Bank of

New York, General Coleman duPont, thewell-known business executive; John HaysHammond, the eminent engineer; JeremiahW. Jenks, the statistician and economist: andJoseph French Johnson, Dean of the NewYork University School of Commerce,

The remarkable percentageof college men

• Two facts are noteworthy in the Institute'srecord. In the first place the average age ofthe men enrolled with it is slightly over thirty.Not to boys is its appeal, but to mature men,who reach the age when they realize that theircareers will be made or marred by the recordof the few years just ahead.

The second striking fact is the very largeproportion of college men enrolled. Over33% of them are college graduates.

You, who read this page, may have reachedthe point in your career where you want tomake the next few years yield double progress.

Or you may be the sort of college man towhom younger men are frequently turning foradvice.

In either case you owe it to yourself to knowsomething more of the character and achieve-ments of this great educational force.
