TRUSTEE BALLOTS SENT OUT.

Accompanied for the First Time byBiographical Sketches of Nominees.

Official ballots bearing the namesof the five nominees for alumni trus-teeships were mailed to the alumniby the Treasurer of the Universityearly last week. The names on theballot are these:

JAMES MAPES DODGE, '72.LELAND OSSIAN HOWARD, '77.ALBERT HENRY SEWELL, '71.HARRY LEONARD TAYLOR, '88.JOHN DεWiTT WARNER, '72.

This year the number of alumni towhom ballots were sent is about8,750.

Two trustees are to be chosen torepresent the alumni for a period offive years, and therefore each personis entitled to vote* for two nominees.

With each ballot was sent a copyof a four-page folder containing bio-graphical sketches of the candidatesfurnished to the Treasurer by thecorresponding secretary of the Asso-ciate Alumni. This was done in ac-cordance with a resolution adoptedlast June by the Associate Alumniand approved a few weeks ago by theexecutive committee of the Board ofTrustees. These sketches are vir-tually abridgments of articles whichhave appeared in the ALUMNI NEWS.

Statement by Sewell Sponsors.

The committee of sponsors forthe nomination of Supreme CourtJustice Albert H. Sewell, '71, forone of the Alumni Trusteeships tobe filled this year, have sent to theALUMNI NEWS the following state-ment of their reasons for recom-mending Judge SewelΓβ election:

"Believing that the election ofJudge Sewell to membership in theBpard of Trustees will be a substan-tial service to the University, theundersigned desire to commend hisqualifications to the consideration of

the alumni, with a request that thosewho think favorably of his candi-dacy and of the endorsement herebygiven shall vote for Judge Sewellfor one of the two trusteeships.Some of our reasons for this beliefare:

"I. By placing its distinguishedalumni on its governing board, auniversity adds to its own prestigeand influence, as well as avails itselfof the best ability among its owngraduates.

"II. Judge Sewell is a businessman as well as a jurist, and his ex-tensive experience in the manage-ment of large constructive enter-prises would be valuable to theboard, many of whose problems arebusiness problems. A trustee of thistype would be especially valuableto the University at this time in viewof the recent death of the HonorableSamuel D. Halliday, '71, a memberof the Board of Trustees on whosemature judgment and experience somuch reliance was long placed.

"III. Judge Sewell's thoroughexperience in State affairs, throughhis service in the legislature and onthe bench, and his present positionof prominence and influence at theState capital, would make his influ-ence and counsel especially valuablein view of the increasing closenessof relationship between the Univer-sity and the Government of the Stateof New York.

"IV. He resides near enough toIthaca to conveniently attend allboard and committee meetings andalso to visit the University fre-quently, as has been his custom formany vears. At the same time, hisduties bring him in constant contactwith great numbers of Cornell men,of New York and other states, sothat to an unusual degree he is intouch with alumni sentiment.

"V. His election by the alumniwould be a fitting recognition of hislong and helpful service to the Uni-versity—with which the trustees andmany of the faculty are familiar.Though for more than a score of

years he has given the Universityfreely of his time, resources, counseland influence, he has never been atrustee of the University, thoughthis is pre-eminently the honorwhich the alumni bestow in recogni-tion of faithful service. We believethat the alumni should thus mani-fest their appreciation of his goodworks for Cornell/'

REUNION NOTICES.

The '93 Reunion.

FELLOW MEMBERS OF '93: This

year, on June 17, our fifteen-year-

reunion is to be held, and we want

every man and woman in the class to

attend. We are especially fortunate

in that a general reunion of all

classes is to be held at the same time,

to celebrate the fortieth anniversaryof the opening of the University.

The chief speakers will be formerPresident White, President Schur-

man, and Judge Hiscock. You can-

not afford to miss this opportunity ofhelping to make this celebrationwhat it ought to be, and of meeting

many of our old friends. Comforta-ble quarters will be found for every-body. Plan to come, and live up toyour resolution.

Several members of the class have

not yet filled out and returned thestatistical blanks. It is highly im-

portant that we have on file a com-plete record of the members of '93.If you have not returned a blankeither to Mr. Hoy or myself, pleasedo so at once. If you have lost theblank, write for another. If you re-

turned the blank some time ago,

please inform the Secretary at onceof all that has happened to you since

—changes of position, marriage,births of children, and so on.

The Second Roster of our classwill be published soon after Com-mencement, if enough subscriptionsare received. It will contain as much

information as the Secretary can col-

lect and as the condition of the treas-

ury will warrant us in publishing.

The price will be $1 and it will be

worth the price. Profits go to the

class treasury. To every person who

has contributed $1 or more to the

class fund, a copy will be sent with-

out charge. All others should fill

out ^nd return the subscription blank

at once.

notice who has not yet received the

communication dated March 20 is

asked to write to the Secretary atonce.

CLARK S. NORTHUP,

Secretary.

Just to remind the 100 or more'97 men who were in Ithaca lastJune that our reunion did not dis-band. It adjourned for one year.

Remember also that each manpromised to bring also one memberof the class who missed it then. That

makes at least 200 to be counted onJune 17 prox.

JERVIS LANGDON,Elmira, N. Y. Secretary.

'03 Reunion Postponed.

The reunion committee of the classof 1903 recently held a meeting in

New York to discuss the subject of

the regular five-year reunion, whichshould take place this June. The

committee has sent out several cir-cular letters to the members of theclass, but has met with so little inter-

est on the part of the class, and somany difficulties in the way of a suc-

cessful reunion, that it has reluct-

antly decided not to hold it this

June, but to postpone the reunionuntil 1913, the time of its regular

ten-year gathering. The committeeregrets that it was compelled to takethis step, especially in view of thefact that this June will witness thecelebration of Cornell's fortieth an-niversary, but a number of circum-

stances make this action necessary.

being present at the Reunion de

Luxe are those whom Duty has calledso far away from the center of thingsthat Bulletin No. 101 has not yet

reached them. If the other classes

turn out proportionately, Ithaca isgoing to be a bit stuffy on the 16th

and 17th of June. But it will bedelightfully stuffy.

A great many persons have ques-

tioned us about the R. de L., and

these we choose to answer here, thatall persons may benefit by the infor-mation conveyed.

HORTENSE: Yes, Mr. Vincent haspromised to be at the reunion. We,too, are looking forward to seeinghim again.

H. BURGWEGER: Wire received.You may again ride a horse in thePee-rade, if you so desire.

OLD GRAD: We quite agree thatwhile a certain amount of levity is

pardonable in the case of a triennial,subsequent reunions should be con-ducted in a dignified and decorousmanner. The R. de L. will be allof that, Old Scout. Look out foryour own bunch. '69 has the onlyreal collech cut-ups.

B. RICH: We paid that bill in

1904, though we've lost the receipt.

You needn't think a little thing likea lawsuit will keep us away.

C. M. BROWN : Your written nomi-

nation of M. Crawford for the office

of Trustee has been forwarded tothe University Treasurer. We fearyou're a little late for this year.

H. RICHARDSON, '05: We regret

that 1904 cannot co-operate with1P05 in giving an afternoon tea on

the Green the evening of the 16th.

We've scheduled two concerts, a foot-race and a sailing party for the hourvoα suggest. You might try Guern-sey Price, '02.

The only gentlemen who haven'talready signified their intention of

Nineteen-Five.

A three-year reunion and a for-tieth" anniversary all in one! It's a

combination that can't be beaten andonce again 1905 is IT. Right now,

it's up to all of the lucky year to put

a big blue ring around June 17thand hang up the calendar where youcan't get away from it. Of course

316 CORNELL ALUMNIwe're all going back, but now is thetime to plan for these three Junedays on the Hill. The excitementstarts at 8 a. m. on Wednesday the17th, as soon as the 1905 specialshit town.

THE CORNELL PLAYERS.

Brooklyn Organization to Produce "MyNiece from New York."

The press agent of the CornellPlayers, of Brooklyn, has sent outthe following:

Tickets are selling in large num-bers for the first performance anddance of the Cornell Players, to begiven on Tuesday, April 21, at theGermania on Schermerhorn street.The alumni and alnmnae of CornellUniversity who are members of thecast of "My Niece from New York,"or who are assisting in the arrange-ments, are confident that they willestablish a hew social activity inBrooklyn which will serve to bringtogether the hundreds of Cornelliansin the borough. The dance which isto follow the play, and the fact thatthe proceeds are to be devoted to theFall Creek Gorge fund, a pet projectof the Brooklyn graduates of Cor-nell, are adding greatly to the inter-est which is being taken in the affair,and the attendance promises to belarge.

Under the direction of Harry C.Ford, recently stage manager forViola Allen, the players are rehears-ing at frequent intervals, and areworking hard to make their end ofthe entertainment a complete suc-cess. The members of the cast are:C. A. Hebb, '02; Miss Esther M.Crockett, '03 Miss Helen C. Riedel,'03; Miss Florence Marquardt, '04;Allan 0. Molatch, '04; Mrs. NinaDennis Schall, '04; Miss Cherrie M.Herder, '05; Salmon Whitcomb, '05;and W. W. Burns, '06.

The officers of the Cornell Playersand the committees. in charge are asfollows:

President, Richardson Webster,'025 secretary, Salmon Whitcomb,'05; treasurer, Miss Helen C. Rie-del, '03.

Dramatic Committee—Allan O.Molatch, '04, chairman; Miss Flor-ence Marquardt, '04; W. W. Burns,'06.

Dance Committee—Salmon Whit-comb, '05, chairman Mrs. Nina Den-nis Schall, '04; Roy L. Stone, '07.

Managing Committee — Richard-son Webster, '02, chairman; Dr.John L. Moffat, 73 Dr. Herbert D.Schenck, '82; James M. Gorman,'90 Harry R. Cobleigh, '01 CharlesN. Pinco, '03; Andrew C. F. Troy,'03; James A. Campbell, '04; Rich-ard A. Wright, '05 Otto E. Hilmer,'07 Roy L. Stone, '07.

Some of the local preparatoryschools have alumni dramatic socie-ties, but this is believed to be thefirst occasion on which Brooklyngraduates of a college outside ofBrooklyn have organized for dra-matic work. It is the intention ofthe Cornell Players to give a playeach year, to be followed by a dance,which will serve as the occasion for areunion of* the hundreds of Cornell-ians in Brooklyn and their friends.

The proceeds from this productionwill be devoted to the fund which isbeing raised for one of the most un-usual gifts ever made by alumni totheir alma mater. The Cornell As-sociation of Brooklyn is raisingmoney to restore Fall Creek Gorge,a deep ravine on the edge of theUniversity grounds at Ithaca, to itsformer condition. Up to a few yearsago it was a favorite resort of thestudents and was one of the featuresof Ithaca to which all visitors weretaken. Now the paths have over-grown and the stairs and bridgeshave decayed until the gorge has be-come impenetrable. To restore it isthe ambition of Brooklyn Cornell-ians.

CORNELL 9, COLGATE 0.

Two Victories and Four Defeats onthe Southern Baseball Trip.

After a southern trip that was notvery successful, the Varsity baseballteam opened the regular season lastSaturday by defeating Colgate 9 to 0in a six-inning game. The contestended in the midst of a blinding snowsquall. Out of seven games playedon the southern trip Cornell won twoand lost four; one was a tie, calledon account of darkness. Through-out the trip the team was crippled byinjuries. Two members of the pitch-ing staff—Caldwell and Gable—wereunable to enter the early games ofthe series on account of sprains re-ceived in the last week of home prac-tice. Watson was badly hurt whilechasing a foul ball in one of the earlycontests and was laid up for the restof the trip. Another pitcher, Bar-ker^ strained his ankle. This leftGoodwillie to do most of the pitch-ing on the trip. Reiber, the regularsecond baseman, could not go southwith the team. His place was takenby Jones. Williams covered firstbase in place of Watson, Lally act-ing as catcher.

Considering the team's adversities,the trip was encouraging. It showedthe possession of good material forreplacing some of the losses causedby graduation since last season.Matchneer showed promise as a thirdbaseman and Cornwall's work in theoutfield and at bat was excellent. InWilliams and Lally the nine has twostrong competitors for the catcher'sposition.

The first game of the trip, inwhich the team was defeated by An-napolis, 4> to 3, was described in thelast issue of this paper. On Mon-day, March SO, the nine met and de-feated Trinity College at Durham,N. C., by a score of 7 to 3. Here, asin the Annapolis game on the pre-ceding Saturday, Cornell playedwithout error. Goodwillie was in thebox and Lally behind the bat. Afeature of the game was Lally'sthrowing to second. The secondgame with Trinity, on the next day,

lasted ten innings and was called bythe umpire on account of darknesswith the score S to S. Cornell hadeight hits to Trinity's seven, but fiveerrors were charged against the Var-sity fielders. Goodwillie againpitched.

On April 1 the team met the Uni-versity of North Carolina at ChapelHill and was defeated by a score of5 to 2. The Cornell batters were un-able to solve the delivery of Fullen-weider, who had eleven strike-outs tohis credit. Lally scored a home runin the ninth inning, but the baseswere empty at the time and so hiseffort resulted in only one tally.

In two games played on April 2 and3 at Charlottesville Cornell brokeeven with the University of Virginia.The score of each game was 4 to 2.In these two games Cornell's pitch-ers were Gable, Caldwell, Goodwillieand Barker.

The last game of the trip wasplayed with Georgetown at Washing-ton on Saturday, April 4, and re-sulted in a defeat by a score of 4 to3. In the last inning, with the scoretied at 3 all, a wild throw let in thewinning run. Gable pitched forCornell. Cantwell, Georgetown'spitcher, struck out nine men. A sec-ond game with Georgetown had beenscheduled, but it was cancelled toprevent the Cornell players fromoverstaying their leaves of absence.

Caldwell was in the box for Cor-nell in last Saturday's game withColgate at Percy Field and showeddecided promise. He held the visit-ors to two hits and accepted fivefielding chances without an error.The entire nine, in fact, played anerrorless game. Colgate's onlychance to score was in the first inn-ing; with one man out, Conlon madea two-base hit, but a foul and a flyretired the side. In Cornell's half ofthe first inning Cornwall went to firstbase on an error and was broughthome by Ebeling's three-bagger;Ebeling scored on Lally's single.Cornell's later scores were gainedlargely as a result of infield errorsby Colgate. Throughout the gamethe field was whitened by snow

squalls and the air was so cold thatthe game was ended by mutual con-sent after the sixth inning.

The score follows:Cornell.

Ithaca, N. Y., April 15, 1908.

The ALUMNI NEWS announces the

election of Joseph Crocker Sibley,

jr., of Franklin, Pa., as assistant

business manager of the paper for

the year 1908-09. The election was

made after a competition among

members of the present sophomore

class.

THE FIELD.

The committee in charge of the

general reunion next June has been

advised that a meeting of the Alumni

Field Committee will be held in

Ithaca during the reunion period.

This will be one of the important

events of the week. The construc-

tion of this field is an enterprise in

which many Cbrnellians are inter-

ested and to which many have con-

tributed. Its best advertisement

should be the reunion itself, AVhen re-

turning alumni will have an oppor-

tunity to see how much their money

has already accomplished. If the

weather or some other circumstance

does not interfere with the plans of

the reunion committee, most of the

events of the third week in June will

take place on or near this field.

THE CORNELL TUBE.

Important Device Invented by an In-structor in the Medical College.

Woodford Contestants.

The annual contest for the Wood-

ford Prize in Oratory will be held

on Friday evening, April 24, in Sib-

ley Dome. Following is the list of

the speakers and their subjects, ar-

ranged in the order of speaking:

Elizabeth Ellsworth Cook, Ithaca

—"Men, Women and Human Be-

ings."

David Theodore Smith, Brooklyn—"Why the Jew Persists/'

Leroy Rosengren Goodrich, Buf-falo—"The Answer to Socialism."

Henry Thomas Kent, jr., CliftonHeights, Pa.—"The Menace of Mod-ern Federalism."

Henry Lansing Rossire, Yonkers—"The Relation of the TechnicalSchool to the University."

Adam Heber Winder, Dayton, O.—"The Working Children of Amer-ica."

These six speakers were chosen ina competition which was open to allmembers of the senior class who in-tend to take their degree in June.R'ossire is a student in Sibley Col-lege and Smith and Winder are inthe College of Law. The other con-testants are registered in the Collegeof Arts. The committee which madethe selections was composed of Pro-fessors Burr, Hayes and Sampson.The Woodford prize was founded byGeneral Stewart L. Woodford andconsists of a gold medal of the valueof $100.

During and since the Easter re-cess the weather has been almost uni-formly favorable for crew practice.Coach Courtney has had several Var-sity and freshman combinations onthe lake almost every day.

The new Playground is filled withstudents every pleasant afternoon.

A demonstration was given before

members of the Physieo-T'herapeutic

Society of New York last Friday

evening of a device invented by Al-

bert C. Geyser, M. D., clinical in-

structor in radiography and radio-

therapy in the Cornell Medical Col-

lege, to eliminate danger in the use

of the X ray as a curative agent.

This account is taken from the NewYork Times.

The demonstration was the prac-tical proof that a means has beendevised whereby the X ray is robbedof its terrors, and the patient needno longer fear the painful, disfigur-ing and sometimes fatal burns whichhave hitherto attended its employ-ment. That this achievement wasnot accomplished without tremendousself-sacrifice on the part of Dr. Gey-ser is evidenced by the fact that hisleft hand is practically useless. Hisfingers are disfigured and swathedin bandages, and he has been urgedto submit to amputation. These in-juries were received in the course ofthe experimentation necessary to per-fect the Cornell tube, the name givento the new tube devised by Dr. Gey-ser to eliminate danger in the use ofX rays.

This tube has now been used morethan 5,000 times at Cornell withouta resulting burn, and it is this factthat is considered conclusive proofthat it has remained for an Americanto devise a tube well-night perfectfor therapeutic purposes. Germanscientists have been striving foryears to aoomplish this end, but sofar their efforts have been barren ofsuccess.

The Cornell tube not only robsthis valuable electro^therapeutic ad-junct of its danger, Dr. Geyser says,but the method of its employmentgreatly enhances its curative powers.

Here is the description in part ofthe tube and its methods of use asprepared for the current issue ofThe Journal of the American Medi-cal Association:

CORNELL 319

"The Cornell tube is made ofheavy lead glass so that no rays areemitted, except through a flint glasswindow, which corresponds in sizeto the lesion to be treated. The con-necting wires are encased in glass in-sulators to prevent sparking on anypart of the patient while under treat-ment. The flint glass window is sit-uated at the end of a projection, andmust be in direct contact with thelesion, thus furnishing a ground anddoing away with the air space whichwould otherwise be the dielectic be-tween the tube and the patient.

"When a tube is brought into di-rect contact with the patient only theionizing effect of the X ray is ex-erted on the tissues, and this effectis all that is needed to furnish themost brilliant therapeutic results."

The Chimes Still There.

The old chimes are still in theLibrary Tower and they will bethere when the classes return for thereunion next June. It has been an-nounced several times since lastspring that the bells were to be takendown and recast. Various causeshave prevented their removal, themost recent of which is said to be thelate financial stringency. Announce-ment has now been made that the re-casting will be done during the sum-mer vacation and that the new bellswill be placed in the tower beforethe opening of college next fall.There will be three more bells thannow.

Two important lectures are on the

schedule of the College of Arts andSciences this week. William Archer,

a famous dramatic critic, speaks on"The Elizabethan Play House/'Professor Charles E. Fay, of TuftsCollege, who was a pioneer in thedevelopment of mountaineering inthe Canadian Rockies and who haswritten many articles on mountainexploration, lectures on "MountainScenery/'
