1905 RALLY CALLED OFF

A telegram from Eddie Holmes '05was received on Tuesday morning defi-nitely calling off the rally scheduled for10 p. m., Saturday, June 19, in BaileyHall. This rally, started by '99 someyears ago, has been given annually bythe class holding its fifteen-year reunion,with the exception of the years of thowar. Had there been time to rearrangethe program the rally would undoubtedlyhave been held, but the races, startingaround six o 'clock, will probably finishas late as the Spring Day races, andsuppers will begin anywhere from ninethirty to ten o 'clock. The rally wascalled off for this reason, and it is hopedthat a normal year will see this featurereestablished.

ALUMNI CONCERT JUNE 18The Glee Club Concert on Friday

evening, June 18, is to be an alumniconcert, with the Glee Club assisting.Any club or class may put on an actif they desire to do so, by communicat-ing with the management.

table. The members will either visitthere afterwards or go to the ball game.The announcement continues:

"With the advancing years, it is de-sirable that we get together oftener.Intervals of five years are too long.Nπie have died since our last reunion.Life is short and time is fleeting. Manyare going to the great unknown."

Those who can come are asked tosend prompt notice to Edwin Gillette,secretary, Ithaca, N. Y.

BECKER AND ENGLISH STAYProfessor Carl Becker has declined an

offer of the chair of modern European,history at Amherst College, with asalary which is said to be large. Thenews of his decision to remain at Cor-nell will be most welcome to those whohave come to know of the character ofhis work as a teacher and writer.

Gratifying also is the decision of Pro-fessor Donald English, who has declinedthe offer of a lucrative business connec-tion in order to continue his academicwork at Cornell.

As the subscriptions are being allo-

with the wishes of the donors, some

changes have to be made in the number

of subscribers and totals for the various

classes. This week a p a r t of these

changes result in a smaller number of

subscribers for some classes than were

previously reported, but only because of

misunderstandings of the subscription

The Endowment CampaignWill Reach the First Goal of Five

Million by Commencement

Every Cornellian who has at any time

worked on the Endowment Fund Cam-

paign, and many others who have not,

are bending every possible effort within

the next two weeks to push the endow-

ment total, now $4,937,728, well over

the $5,000,000 mark by Commencement

Day, June 23. Local chairmen and com-

mit teemen are making final plans for

reaching the highest possible number of

the Cornellians resident within their

districts before the end of the month,

at which time the campaign will come

to a close for the summer. With less

than fourteen per cent of all former

Cornellians on the roll of honor there is

an ample field for fruitful work during

the remaining days of this year's cam-

paign. The attention of Cornellians

who have not yet subscribed is being

called to the action of the Trustees in

voting to preserve a suitable record of

the names of all donors to the Uni-

versity 's Semi-Centennial Endowment

before June 30, 1920. This record will

be written on parchment and will be

preserved in the University Library. The

present total represents subscriptions


mount up while some classes lose andothers gain. The class of '95 holds therecord of progress for the week, havinggained 26 names in the past seven days.

The list of cities over $20,000 showsthat New York has increased its totalby nearly $26,000 in the past seven daysand Chicago has increased by nearly$21,000. The other cities on the listhold the same relative positions they oc-cupied last week.

One of the results of the recent in-tensive campaign in San Francisco isthe receipt of four subscription blanksduring the past week, all of which repre-sented increases in previous subscrip-tions. Of the four, two were for fourtimes the amount of the previous sub-scription, one was five times the size ofthe original, and the other was morethan double the pledge it superseded.These subscriptions show that even indistricts which have subscribed nearlyone hundred per cent—of which thereare few—money for Cornell is still avail-able, and Cornellians are willing to giveit when they understand the need.

IMPEESSIONS OF CORNELL

Professor Albert Feuillerat of theUniversity of Rennes, who lately gavea series of lectures on the Jacob H.Schiff Foundation, expressed himself asgreatly pleased with his visit to theUniversity. From an interview printedin the Sun we quote his general com-ments :

"My impression of Cornell is alto-gether most delightful. The general

enthusiasm and fine spirit of the stu-dents, are very striking to one who hasonly been here for so short a time. Thenotion of force and activity that onegets from visiting the engineering schoolis remarkable. The arrangement of theUniversity Library is unusually good.Taken altogether, Cornell appears topossess many advantages and the loca-tion has a particular appeal for me. Itis impossible that the environmentshould not have an influence on the stu-dents.

' 'No two American universities seemto be the same in their atmosphere andorganization. The -general . character-istics of American students appear tobe their genuine enthusiasm and theirbroad nature.

'' The French universities are verydifferent. They have no college life asthe French university students are allbent on their work of specializationwhich is the chief and only purpose ofthe French university. In America thestudent obtains his cultural education incollege, while in France he obtains itat the lycee or secondary school. TheFrench universities are all meant to pre-pare the student for a definite positionin life. The French universities are re-covering but slowly from the effects ofthe war."

THE ITHACA' CONSERVATORY of Music

at the commencement exercises on June1 graduated a class of thirty-four. Thecommencement address was given byProfessor Ralph H. Keniston of theDepartment of Romance Languages.

THE DELICATE BROWN DINNER

The Cornell chapter of Sigma DeltaChi, the national journalistic fraternity,gave a dinner to one hundred " guestsof honor" on Decoration Day at theDutch Kitchen. All items on the menuwere brown in color, but the name of thefeast, "The Delicate Brown Dinner,"was derived more from the delicateroasting that some of the "guests ofhonor*" received in "five one-act plays"put on by the members of the fraternity.The plays took liberties with the dignityof some of the University's and town'sfirst citizens, in a manner sufficientlydelicate to prove satisfactory even to thetoastees. The make-up of the actors, ingeneral, made sufficient likenesses sothat their large brown name plates werenot strictly necessary. Among thosewhose foibles were portrayed wereGraduate Manager Berry, EndowmentDirector Flack and Chairman White,Judge Crowley, Police CommissionerTarbell, Proctor Twesten, Louis A.Fuertes, Louis Bement, Registrar Hoy,Miss Carman, President A. W. Smith,and Professors Creighton, English,Titchener, Strunk, and Schmidt. Eachguest had a place card with a personallimerick. The rest of the communitywas reserved for future dinners, whichthreaten to become annual affairs.

To-day, June 10, is Cornell Day in'Chicago, and at the luncheon at theCity Club Professor Durham is scheduledto tell of the awakening of Cornellspirit throughout the country. .I t ispredicted that the list of 221 Cornel-lians who have subscribed to the En-dowment Fund—32 per cent—will begreatly increased.

Here is the way one ever-young Cor-nellian (Professor W. F. E. Gurley '77)described the affair of May 30, in aletter to the editor of the ALUMNI NEWS :

"I was at the Cornell Jamboree lastTuesday night, and had a good time.The affair seemed to take possession ofthe Club House from swimming pool toroof garden and I certainly enjoyed it—just think of a blinky old baldy likeme hanging on to the iron railing fromthe ring-side front seat in a high-browinstitution and watching a four-round

,bout between a couple of featherweights,one of whom had won the A. E. F.championship. They went at it hammerand tongs and pleased the gang to suchan extent that it fairly rained silverall around the pit. Two or three times


the referee got a good one in the neckwhen he tried to separate them whilethey were clinched and fooling away toomuch time roasting ribs. There wasalso a welterweight four-round boutΛvhich was fairly good although it didnot hold a candle to the featherweights.

"I had really forgotten how good agenuine beefsteak was until I set myteeth in that which was served to us atour beefsteak dinner that night. O::course we had all sorts of singing andjust enough rough house to make onefeel at home amidst the hundred boyswho were trying to have a nip of 'themdays of real sport' back on the Hill. Iwish you could have been there for IknoΛV you would have got the worth ofyour money."

DETROIT LUNCHERS

On June 3 the Detroit Cornellians attheir luncheon discussed the instructionsto be given their delegates to the meet-ing of the Associate Alumni. The clubwill continue to lunch weekly on the10th and on the 17th. The annual outingwill be held on the 26th.

Ithaca, N. Y., June 10, 1920

JUNE 18, 19, AND 20

The most important change producedby the announcement last week that thePoughkeepsie races would' be rowed onCayuga Lake on June 19 is that thereunions this year, instead of beingordinary off-year reunions, a let-downfrom the strenuous Semi-Centennial of1919, become, in point of size of crowds,at least, so important that they mayrival even that event.

The plans of many class secretarieswill by this time have been radically re-vised, and much of the program willperhaps be omitted, or postponed untilSunday. This is particularly true ofthe events of Saturday after six p. m.It is unfortunate if much effort has thusgone to waste, but the feeling is generalthat the reunions were going to be small,and that only small plans had to bemade.

Cornell is' once more in the limelight,perhaps a more glaring light than anyheretofore. The precedents of half acentury have been upset, when the Inter-

collegiate races are held on the courseof one of the competing crews. Largecrowds are expected to view the races.It is likely that Syracuse and Ithacawill provide more than enough spectatorsto replace those who Λvill not make thelonger trip from New York. Philadel-phia rowing fans are not much worseoff than on the trip to Poughkeepsie.And alumni of Cornell have the addedincentive of returning to both the re-unions and the regatta on the same trip.Whether or not the change this year isa precedent for future years may de-pend to some extent on its success thisyear.

If, then, some classes must give up orpostpone till Sunday some cherishedevent to which they have looked for fiveyears, and perhaps have had one orpossibly a dozen members working onfor three months, .they will undoubtedlyrejoice in the opportunity to make thisslight sacrifice to help let thousands ofvisitors see Cornell at her prettiest, andwill accept the disappointment cheer-fully.

The Ithaca alumni organizations andthe University officials look forward inhopeful trepidation, with the possibilitythat their facilities for service may beswamped, and with hope of seeing thealumni returning as they have returnedbut once before.

Meanwhile the program as arrangedstands except Saturday from six totwelve.

LITERARY REVIEWSome South American DramasThree Plays of the Argentine. Juan

Moreira, Santos Vega, The Witches'Mountain. ' Translated from the Spanishby Jacob S. Γassett, jr., '12. Edited,with an introduction, by Edward HaleBierstadt. New York. Duffield and Com-pany. 1920. 8vo, pp. xlii, 148. Price,$1.75 net.

This is a highly important volume,both for the student of dramatic artand for the folklorist. The three playspresented here, in an excellent idiomatictranslation, are true products of theArgentine soil, crude but with a certainnative strength, dealing with primitiveemotions, true product of the gaucho andthe pampas. Juan Moreira is a typicalgaucho—" strange and fascinating mix-ture of Daniel Boone, the pioneer, ofBuffalo Bill, the beau ideal of the cow-boy, and of Robin Hood, the outlaw,and the friend of the masses against

the classes." Santos Vega is the em-bodiment of the payador, or wanderinggaucho minstrel, engaging in one ofthose singing contests which were socommon and extemporizing verses to theaccompaniment of his guitar. "TheWitches' Mountain," while not agaucho play, is perhaps as truly aproduct of the mountains . as the gauchoplay is of the plains—"true in at-mosphere and strong in dramatic ef-fect."

The student of dramatic origins ismuch interested in the dramas criollosof Argentina. Whereas the Greek dramagrew out of the worship of Dionysusand the modern drama out of certaincustoms in the church service, theArgentine drama grew out of the trav-eling circus. "Gradually there creptinto the circus performance a short, in-formal, and sometimes impromptu playwhich dealt with local conditions, andso was easily appreciated by the rusticaudience. These plays were for the mostpart frank melodramas which were allwritten about the national figure, thegaucho. In time the plays took formuntil there came to be a definite reper-tory, and, after a certain point, no ad-ditions were made to this, so that wehave a small group of plays repeatedfor years all over the country, adoredby the people." At length, divorcedfrom their circus progenitor, they "de-manded a place of their own. The twogreat theatrical managers of BuenosAires to-day—they are actor-managersand producers—are the brothers Podesta,who many years ago began their careeras members of a family of acrobats ina traveling circus which included thegaucho plays.''

The folklorist, too, will find in thesepages many hints regarding primitivethought; the evil eye, the man wrho soldhis soul to the devil, verse extemporiza-tions, the development and disappear-ance of the outlaw-hero type, and so on.It is a welcome addition to our dramaticand folklore library.

ATHLETICSRegatta Preparations

With the crews of three of the fouruniversities that will take part in theraces already tuning up on CayugaLake, plans are well under way for theregatta of the Intercollegiate RowingAssociation, which for the first time inhistory is to be rowed this year onOayuga Lake, on Saturday, June 19.

As announced in these columns lastweek, the stewards of the associationtransferred the regatta from Pough-keepsie to Ithaca, first because it wasfelt imperative that the races be rowedearlier than July 1, which was the firstdate that water conditions on the Hud-son would be favorable, and secondlybecause the West Shore Railroad de-clined to provide an observation trainthis year.

As it turns out, the regatta will haveto be rowed this year without an ob-servation train because it has been foundimpossible to assemble one in time. Thereasons for this decision are set forthin the following statement from Norman

W. Pringle, General Passenger Agent ofthe Lehigh Valley Railroad.

" Regret exceedingly to advise youthat it has been found to be physicallyimpossible to provide an observationtrain for regatta on Cayuga Lake June19th for the reason there are no carsavailable for this service due to the ex-treme car shortage at the present time.

"This had the personal attention ofPresident Loomis, Viee-President Mid-dleton, and all our officials, who gavecareful consideration to' the questionand exhausted all resources in an ef-fort to provide this train, but withoutsuccess.—N. W. PRINGLE. "

To meet this situation and to makethe best possible provision for the spec-tators, the course, which in all threeraces will be two miles long,—the var-sity race having been cut to two milesinstead of three, as had been originallyplanned,—will be moved to the southend of the lake, with the finish not farnorth of the pier at Renwick.

The bank of the lake at this pointwill provide room for large numbers ofspectators, while many others may finddesirable observation points at otherplaces along the course. It is alsoplanned to press into service all of thocraft that can be brought to this end ofthe lake. There will be no grand standsand the first come first served rule willbe in force.

Meanwhile committees from the Boardof Commerce of Ithaca are cooperatingwith the Athletic Association and thecity officials to arrange for housing andfeeding the thousands of visitors who

are expected here Regatta Day. Specialtrain service into Ithaca will be pro-vided and a special shuttle train tίocarrry the crowds from State Street tothe scene of the races.

The Columbia rowing party arrivedin Ithaca Tuesday morning, the Syra-cuse oarsmen on Tuesday evening. TheColumbia oarsmen are located at Glen-wood, while the Orange party will stayin Ithaca. Until next Thursday, whenall of the crews become the guests ofCornell, the Syracuse crews will rowfrom the intercollege boathouse, whileColumbia will use the Cornell boat-house. When the Pennsylvania crewsreach Ithaca next week they also willmake the Cornell boathouse their head-quarters, ample room having been pro-vided by removing all of the surplusCornell shells from the varsity boathouseto Caseadilla's boathouse.

Cornell Wins from Maryland

The baseball team defeated MarylandState College by the score of 10 to 0last Wednesday, in what turned out tobe the last collegiate game of thaschedule. The team journeyed to NewHaven last Friday to play a return gamewith Yale Saturday, but rain caused thecancellation of that contest. The onlyremaining game on the schedule is thatwith the Alumni on June 19.

Cornell defeated Maryland easily,bunching eight of the ten hits in threeinnings, making three runs in the third,three in the fifth, and four in the eighth.Mayer knocked out two home runs,bringing in four other runs, whileSpiers also made a homer. Maloney,


who pitched for Cornell, was very ef-

fective, being hit safely but five times.

Only one Maryland man reached third

base. Coach Henry tried Fritz out at

third base, sending Wolf to the outfield.

The newcomer made a favorable impres-

sion. In its recent games the teaan has

played far better baseball than earlier.

THE CORNELL GOLF TEAM, playing inPhiladelphia during the last week inMay, defeated Columbia and lost toPennsylvania. The scores were respec-tively 5 to 4 and 3 to 6.

If you weren't fortunate enough to be along at the time, here's your rain-check for the only near-repetition this year. Friend Weatherman has assuredus of some more gala-day sunshine and zephyrs—here's hoping he makes good.

Sleeping cars in this train will be open for occupancy at Hoboken by10:00 p. m , Thursday, June 17th, and Friday, June 18th, respectively.

ow, if you want to be assured of space in the same car as other members ofyour class will be located, have your class secretary or leader engage a car aspromptly in advance as possible, as passenger cars are scarce these days allover the country.
