Detroit Awaits Alumni
All Cornellians Will Be Welcome at Sixth
Convention, Combining Important
Business with Entertainment
Ready t o offer all Cornell alumni and
their husbands or wives "two days crammed full of Cornell" in addition to the
overflowing hospitality of a great and
fascinating city, Detroit sends out a final
invitation to attend the sixth annual Cornell Alumni Convention, meeting a t the
Book-Cadillac Hotel Friday and Saturday, October 23 and 24.
This is not the last call for reservations.
They may be made by wire up to the last
minute. But the Detroit convention committee urges Cornellians to decide a t
once that they are coming, and to notify
James I>. Elwood 'c6, 11-143 General
Motors Building, Detroit, Mich., in order
that their accommodation and entertainment may be assured in advance.
The completed convention program
promises a round of entertaining social
events, combined with meetings for business that is both interesting and important. This is the one time of the year that
alumni are enabled to discuss all the problems of Cornell in an open forum. Business
sessions for this purpose, and for the election of directors of the Cornell Alumni Corporation, will be held Friday morning and
afternoon and Saturday morning a t the
Book-Cadillac. Among the speakers will
be Dean Dexter S. Kimball of the College
of Engineering, Acting Dean Charles K.
Burdick of the College of Law, Jack
Moakley, and R. Warren Sailor. Retiring
Alumni Trustees Louis Livingston Seaman
'72 and George J. Tansey '88 ~villgive
their reports.
The recreational side of the convention
will begin a day ahead of time; golf, trips
to industrial plants, luncheons, and a
swimming party for women a t the
m70men's City Club are announced for
Thursday, Oct,ober 22. Friday a luncheon
for all Cornellians and their guests will
form an interlude between the business
sessions. The Convention banquet, for
Cornellians, wives, and husbands alike,
will be held Fridsy evening a t the BookCaclillac. Speakers will include President
Farrand and President Clarence C. Little
of the University of Michigan; Professor
Charles Love (Bull) Durham '99 will be
toastmaster. Following t,he banquet an
"Old Time" dance, with a program of
dances both old and new, will take place
in the Iiook-Cndillac ball room.
Saturday afternoon thc convention
party will be taken to a football game
between the University of Detroit and the
U. S. hlarines of Quantico. Cornell
women and wives of alumni will be entertained a t afternoon tea a t the Women's
City Club, and in the evening a t the Detroit Golf Club. A stag smoker in the
evening will close the program proper.
Golf and votor trins r i l l be provided,
however, for any guests who wish to remain in Detroit over Sunday, and committees will also arrange for alumni t o
play golf Friday or Saturday afternoons or
visit industrial plants on Friday.
The sixth annual convention, held in a
city which prides itself on the vast scale
on which it does things, is expected to surpass in interest, pleasure, and numhers
taking part, all the gatherings that have
gone before it.
That Columbia football game a t the
Polo Grounds on October 31st is beginning
to loom up.
The correspondence suggests that it is
desirable to repeat and reemphasize some
facts about it.
At this game, as at all previous Columbia
games in the Polo Grounds Cornell has the
north stand. At the Dartmouth game
last year (and before) we had the south
stand.
On the north side there are upper tier
boxes only a t the westerly end of the
gridiron and these extend no nearer the
middle of the field than the thirty-three
yard line.
There are relatively few box seats.
These will be passed out to applicants
therefore in order ot priority as long as
they last. When they are gone applications for box seats must be filled with
reserved seats and the difference in price
returned.
The reserved seats are $3. The box
seats are $4. The reserved seats are the
better place from which to see the game.
When you are in a box seat the vast throng
gets a better chance to see your fur coat.
That's the only advantage I can detect.

Slight Gain in Registration
Total of 4,971 Students Exceeds Figures
for Past Two Years, But Number of
New Students Declines
Early figures on fall registration show
that the total number of students in the
University is higher than it has been in
the last two years, while the number of
entering students continues to decrease.
The total number of students registered in
the University a t noon on September 26,
the last regular day, was 4,971, thirtynine more than the number registered a t
the same time last year and fifty-eight
more than the number registered in 1923.
The number of new students this year is
1,390, as compared with 1,414 in 19-24 and
1,513 in 1923, a decrease of twenty-four
since 1924 and one hundred and twentythree since 1923. In the number of old
students registered there is an increase of
sixty-three over 1924 and one hundred
and eighty-one over 1923, the figures for
the respective years being 3,400 in 1923,
3,518 in 1924, and 3,581 in 1925.
The reduction of the size of the entering
class is due to the University's policy of
keeping the number of students within
bounds. Most of the colleges are enforcing
rules requiring applications for admission
to be filed before August I and are rejecting applications received after that date.
The College of Arts and Sciences has
adopted a strict policy of limiting new
registration to five hundred and in the
enforcement of the rule over seven hundred
applications that complied with the requirements in full were turned down. The
College of Engineering admits to the
freshman class only those applicants who
are able to meet the regular entrance requirements in full, and as a result the
number of freshmen in Engineering is
somewhat less than it has been in former
years, while the other classes in that
College are larger. The Law College alone
reports a n increase in the number of students in the first-year class.
The increase in the number of old students registered tends to show that a
larger number of students are returning
for graduate work and that Cornell is becoming more and more a graduate institution.

Strength of Team Surprises
A football team more capable than its
partisans had hoped defeated Williams
decisively on Schoellkopf Field Saturday
by a score of ,48 to o. Seven to eight
t,housan shivering spectators, who braved
the most uncomfortable weather conditions in years to see how the team had
developed, were amply rewarded by an
exhibition of sustainedoffensive strength
that was as pleasing as it was unexpected.
True, Williams was not the Williams
that beat Cornell last fall by a score of
14 to 7. This team from New England
was neither as husky, nor as well-knit, nor
as skilful as the 1924 opponents, nor did it
possess a passing attack that could compare with that of its predecessor. But it
is also true that the Cornell eleven was
more efficient by a considerable margin
than that which lost last fall. Williams
was not so far below last year's standard
as to charge the difference in the result
solelv to that. A better team is being
.,
developed on the Hill than early conditions had indicated.
Power, sustained drive, excellent interference, the first real coordination between
line and backs manifested this year, clean
handling of the ball as a rule, and sound
and usually alert defensive play characterized the Cornell exhibition. The offense
was smooth, consistent, and sometimes
deceptive. The off-tackle play worked
with precision; and the attack was varied
sufficiently to keep Williams guessing.
Delayed passes were employed, and the
backs concealed the ball rather well.
There will be more deception in the offense
than usual, if this game is a criterion.
Williams was well coached, spry and
plucky, but lacked power or finesse. The
New Englanders made but three first
downs, they never got beyond the fortyyard mark, and their passing game, which
vear., and has fredefeated Cornell last .
quently caused trouble, was ineffective.
Only three passes were completed, and
none for any considerable yardage or a t
times when they might have been threatening. Most of the passes attempted were
poorly executed, and some that looked
good were knocked down by an alert
cornell secondary defense. One .%'illiams
pass was intercepted by Fratt, and this
paved the way for the second touchdown.
Cornell's line play was adequate at all
times; of the ends the work of Courtright,
a third-string man last fall, stood out.
Wester, quarterback, and Gassner, left
half, carried the ball most frequently,
Gassner contributing more yardage than
any other back. He was the only one to
play through the whole game.
Wester made several pretty runs around
tackle; Gassner skirted the tackles or
darted through the line with equal effect.
Fratt at right halfback, and Butterfield,
playing his first game a t fullback as a
regular, were also useful, and both contributed substantially to the steady advance. Of the substitute backs, Trefts
and Robinhold made substantial gains.
Williams won the toss and chose the
north goal, Carey kicking off for Cornell
in the teeth of a sharp north wind. A
Williams punt to Cornell's fifteen-yard
line soon gave Cornell the ball, and the
team drove right down for a touchdown,
Gassner making the score. A little later
Fratt's interception of Popham's pass on
Williams' thirty-five-yard line opened the
way for another touchdown and six rushes
took the ball over, Gassner again making
the touchdown.
Before the period ended Cornell was on
Williams' eleven-yard line, and right after
the second quarter began, four rushes
produced another touchdown, Fratt making the score. Later in this period the
running attack slowed down, and after
passes had failed, Carey kicked a goal
from placement from the forty-five-yard
line. He had the wind at his back, but it
43
was a beautiful kick all the same. Within
a few minutes he kicked another, from the
thirty-five-yard line. At the end of the
half the score stood 27 to o.
Another touchdown was scored in the
third period, a few passes helping the
running attack along, and in the fourth,
with numerous reserves in the line-up,
Cornell crossed the Williams goal line
twice. Meld's alertness in covering
Popham's fumble on WilliamsJ fortyyard line paved the way for the last of
these. The only interruption in the relentless momentum of the Cornell attack
came in the third period, but fresh reserves picked up the slack, and the steady
drive was resumed.
It would be silly to predicate a great
team on this performance Saturday and
Cornell's principal opponents are all
bowling along handsomely. But if the
improvement of the past week can be
maintained, no Cornellian need have fear
of being ashamed of this eleven a t New
York, Hanover, or Philadelphia.
Weather conditions resembling midNovember at its worst cut down the size
of the crowd. Probably a thousand persons who had tickets staid away, while
hundreds of nearby enthusiasts did not
venture on the journey to Ithaca by motor.
It was a cold, bleak, raw day, and the
Crescent was raked by a bitter northwester. Winter coats, robes, and goloshes
were mighty useful.

LITERARY REVIEW

The Success of Democracy
T h e Moral Standards of Democracy. By
Henry Wilkes Wright '99, Ph.D. '04,
Professor of Philosophy and Social Ethics
in the University of Manitoba. New York.
D. Appleton and Company. 1925. 19.5
cm., pp. xii, 399. Price $2.
Professor Wright has written a very
readable and instructive book. He is
judicious and discreet in the expression of
opinion; he has read widely in the literature of his subject; he shows balance and
poise. His book is a distinct cont.ribution
to the best thought on this important subject.
Dr. Wright first discusses the relation
between intelligence and instinct. By the
advance of intelligence human conduct,
based at bottom on instinct, is raised to a
higher level which opens up wider vistas
of achievement and of mtisfaction. Incidentally he pays his respects to the theory
of behaviorism, which he regards as virtually a denial of progress. Now one of these
wider vistas above referred to is the social
ideal. Then comes the problem of realizing this ideal, of bringing in the kingdom
of God. The author quotes, with partial
approval, Professor Dewey's objection to
the ordinary moral and social idealism,
that its prevailing tendency is to subordinate present interest to a remote future
good. What we need is some impulse that
will actually change present conditions for
the better. The author thinks that the
ordinary social activities involved in discussion, cooperation, and the evoking of
imaginative sympathy will suffice to
bring about the change needed.
I n his chapter on "The Moral Standards of Democracy" Wright asks, What
qualities of character and of conduct does
the ideal of democracy require in the
average citizen? I n the first place, there
must be a development of mind. Hence the
tremendous importance of the rapid and
wide dissemimtion of knowledge. Next,
there must be capacity production on the
part of every person, and not mere empty
zeal. Thirdly there must be imaginative
sympathy and undershanding of the point
of view of the other fellow.
An important chapter is that on "Democracy and Industry." The author
notes. the change already wrought by
democracy in the common attitude toward work. The aristocrat believed himself exempted from the duty to work.
There is now no leisure class; or if there is,

of purpose on the part of both the laborer
and the employer, team-play, and recognition of faithful service. Obviously what is

Chicago
On September ; a special luncheon was
given by the Cornell University Association of Chicago, for the entertainment of
the new freshmen from Chicago who
entered the University this fall. Over
twenty young men attended. Short talks
to 6he boys were given by William G.
Strong '94, president of the club, and by
William H. French '73, James P. Harrold
'93, and Malcolm D. Vail '12.
On September 24 the first of the ~egular
weekly luncheons for the season opened
with a n hour in honor of Edward E. Goodwillie '10, who is leaving Chicago to engage in business in San Francisco. Goodwillie is one of the Chicago quartet that
took a prominent part in the last annual
reunion a t Ithaca. Over fifty Cornellians
were present to wish him well in his new
home.
The luncheon on October I was well
attended; an auspicious year seems assured. The prospects of the football
team were discussed, and the score of the
first game approved without dissent. The
coming holiday visit of the Musical Clubs
also received attention, and plans were put
under way t.0 give the singers the rousing
welcome they always merit. Arrangements were perfected with regard to attending the convention a t Detroit on
October 23 and 24. Wythe Denby '89 and
James P. Harrold '93 were selected as
delegates, and they expect to be accompanied by a large number of members.
The annual meeting and election of officers
was announced for the next meeting.
New York Women
The first regular meeting of the Cornell
Women's Club of New York, held on
Saturday afternoon, October 3, filled the
Sun Parlor of the Allerton House to
capacity. The slogan for the day was "A
minimum of business and a maximum of
pleasure." Necessary reports were made
short and pithy. The program committee
outlined an attractive plan for the year's
gatherings, promising'some entertainment
innovations. There was also a discussion
of the desirability and possibility of permanent clubrooms for Cornell women in
New York.
A special musical program was furnished
by Mme. lrma Caron, French-Australian
soprano and danseuse, who is now about
to tour the United States. Miss Caron
has a pleasing personality, and rendered
English and French numbers in a dclightful manner, but she appeared most
thoroughly to enjoy taking her audience
into the land of Maori women. She
created an atmosphere by donning the reed
skirt and the "mat" robe of the native
woman, and made the necessary explanations a good story rather than a purely
educational feature. :The first native
number was a Maori lullaby, and the
CORNELL ALUMNI NEW
second the "poi" ball dance and song,
which afforded hlme. Caron a n excellent
opportunity to show her skill and vivacity.
The artist was most enthusiastically received by the club.
After the program, tea was served in the
Rose Room, and a very delightful social
hour enjoyed.
The delegates of the Cornell Women's
Club of New York a t the Detroit convention will be Mrs. Joseph J. Klein (Janet
Frisch) '12 and Miss Jessamine S. Whitney '05.
A mah jong and bridge party benefit

BUILD MEMORIAL STAIRWAY
Work hss begun on a stairway and overlook on University Avenue, in memory of
Morgan Smiley Baldwin '15, who was
killed in France, October 8, 1918. The
memorial, which is a gift to the Delta
Phi Fraternity by Arthur J. Baldwin '92,
father of Morgan Smiley Baldmin, is to
consist of a stairway twenty-four feet
wide rising from University Avenue to a
walled and guarded landing above. From
this landing a flight of cut stone stairs will
lead to an overlook, designed in the form
of a bastion, with a parapeted wall projecting over the roadway. The overlook
will command a splendid view of Cayuga
Lake and the City of Ithaca and will contain a lettered panel in stone bearing the
following inscription: In Memory of
Morgan Smiley Baldwin, Who Lies Where
He Fell a t Boni, France, 1918. Dulce et
Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori."
The entire stairway and overlook will be
done in the Gothic style and will be designed to harmonize with recent University buildings. Broad stairs will lead from
the overlook to Llenroc, built by Ezra
Cornell and now the home of Delta Phi,
and the banks adjacent to the steps will be
beautified under the direction of the landscape adviser to the University. The
building of the stairway will shorten the
passage through Llenroc Court from
Stewart Avenue to University Avenue,
and provide a direct route for students
going downtown from the Hill, in place of
the old path through the cemetery, which
has been closed by the City. The memorial
will be completed in about ten weeks.

of Yale.
Charters were granted to Agnes Scott

of South Carolina, the College of Wooster,
Ohio, the University of South Dakota,
the University of the South, Sewanee,
Tennessee, the University of Kentucky,
Occidental College, Los Angeles, and t,he

Arrangements were ~ompletedfor the
vigorous prosecution of the campaign for
a n endowment of a million dollars, most
of the income from which will be used for
scholarships, fellowships, and other means
of encouraging humane education in
America.
At the banquet a t the Astor Dr. Frank
P. Graves, president of the University of
the State of New York and an ex-officio
Trustee of Cornell, spoke on "The Marks
of the Leader." His address was a plea for
the creation of an aristocracy of service
rather than an aristocracy merely of
brains, and for leadership through wise
selection as much as through mass education and scholarship.
"We of America," he said, "have come
to hold it almost an educational axiom
that every one should be permitted to obtain as much education as he is capable of
consuming. I t has become evident, however, that in selecting those who are to be
trained for leadership the moral qualities
should be especially stressed. We should
strive to select our leaders, men and
women, wisely, and then train them definitely for the service of society."
The Commissioner also touched on the
subj-ct of eugenics as an aid to the creation
of leaders. "At the present time we devote less attention to the development of
leaders among men than to the breeding
of leaders among kittens and puppies. TITe
are doing little or nothing to prevent the
union and mating of the tubercular,
epileptic, or feeble-minded. Eugenics is a
valuable contribution to the creation of
leaders, but in order to make it really
effective it must be popularized, and
education must accomplish it-education
of a universal type."
Too much poor student material in the
colleges is a handicap to the creation of
leaders and there is a need of a new kind
of test to supplement the intelligence tests.
"There are some moral qualities which we
have not yet learned to measure, and
these are an absolute necessity to leadership. Among them are industry and
perseverance, for leadership can never be
attained by the indolent and the weakwilled."
Touching on recent and local issues he
remarked that "one need only to look at
the inanities of a political campaign-I am
not mentioning any by name-or
the
controversies and gyrations of the Modernists and Fundamentalists, 'to know that
emotionalism, sentimentality, irrationality, and cave-man superstitions persist in
the twentieth century."
Professor Helen Gray Cone of Hunter
College read a fine poem on "Youth and
Age."
A resolution passed unanimously de.
clares it to be the policy of the Society not
to enter institutions where freedom of
teaching is not allowed.
