THE ALL-ROUND SCHOLAR, President Schorman of Cornell Gives n Valuable Definition of Education. From the Buffalo Enquirer. President Schurman gave utterance to a striking epigram when he said to the Cornell graduates: "What shall It profit a man to know the secrets of the university if his own domicile Is to be the almshouse?" He was speaking of the relation of knowledge to the various professions and pursuits by which men earn their livings and he declared: "Col legs and universities were not founded for the Increase of the dependent class es." These generally accepted truths are put in a striking way and there Is occasion for Impressing them upon the mind of the graduate. Now and then, perhaps, the race Is benefited by some ardent spirit who Is so absorbed In the pursuit of knowledge for Itself so .eager to grasp some new truth that providing for his own support becomes an entirely secondary consideration. But with the great majority It Is per fectly legitimate to make the question of obtaining a livelihood of prime Im portance. As the president of Cornell puts it: "America, which la another name for universal opportunity, makes it the first duty of the educated man to achieve economic Independence." This Is in line with the spirit which has from the first pervaded the teaching of Cor nell university and guided the admin istration of the Institution, Some comment has been .made upon the.reeent action of Cornell In deciding to give the H. A. degree for satisfactory graduation In any of the courses of the Academic department. Cornell Cnlver sity now consists of seven special fac ulties nnd a generul or university fac ulty. The latter is composed of all the professors and assistant professors In the university; its function is to con sider questions of general educational policy; and it will have Immediate charge of all students In the graduate department. Outside of the graduate department the university comprehends seven divisions, which will be hereafter designated the Academic department (or Department of Arts and Sciences), the College of Law, the College of Civil Engineering, the Sibley College of Me chanical Engineering and Mechanic Arts, the College of Architecture, the College of Agriculture, and the State Veterinary College. The students In the Academic department and In each of the six professional colleges are put under the Immediate charge of a fac ulty made up of the professors, assist ant professors, and Instructors belong ing to that division of the university. Heretofore In the Academic department different dlgrees have been given. It has been decided that, beglnnlg; with the first class graduating In the twentieth century, the B. A. degree shall be conferred upon every student In the Academic department who satis factorily completes four years of study, whether the subjects studied be the nnclent or the modern languages, his tory or philosophy, mathematics, physics, or blolgy, or, Indeed, any com bination of the humanities or the sciences of nature, or of both together. Speaking of this new departure of the Institution, President Schurman, in his address, sold: 'It is folly to suppose that some parts of human knowledge are liberalizing, and others neutral or negative; or that some Institutions yield culture, and others merely science. The real difference Is In the nature of the outlook which the several studies yield. One reveals the constitution and order of nature, the procession of the heavenly bodies, the elements of the earth, the mechanism and functions of living beings. The sttidents of this ob jective sphere are the scientists par ex cellence. The other study tells of man, of his doings and sufferings, of the arts he has invented, and the Institutions he has established, of the whole form and content of human history in its largest sense. The votaries of this study are the humanists. The humanities and the science par excellence. The other sciences together exhausted (theology apart) the materials of knowledge. Our extensive Ideal of the educated man is the scholar who reaches out for them all; our Intensive ideal is the specialist who has mastered one. Both ideals have their value; neither excludes the other. In practice we strike a com promise. We do not want a scientist who Is altogether ignorant of the scienc eses. That one science is as educative as another all the colleges agree. And In the twentieth century it will also be recognized that English and German literature, history and politics, meta physics and ethics are as truly liberal izing and educative for the minds of young men and women as the ancient classical humanities, though I am sure that Greece and Rome and Jerusalem, as the fountain heads of human civili zation, will always hold a place of honor and be an object of homage In every institution of learning which nourishes the liberal arts and sclenees or cares for those Ideal goods of truth, beauty, Justice and righteousness wherein consists the true glory of hu man life on earth." EARLY IX THE GAME. "Dear." she sobbed, timidly (she was a bride), "My pocket has been picked!" Without a word (She was a bride), lie never once de murred; But from his pocket took, nor even sighed, A crisp new bill and asked: "What was It, dear7 A ten or a twenty? See, I have It here!" (She was a bride.) "It was but a ten!" with a soft blush she cried. But looked so sweet that joyfully he laid The twenty In her hand and thought ho paid Small price for her quick kiss; she was bis bride. Then turned, but a low whisper met his ear: I "Perhups, perhaps I ought to tell you, dear " (She was a bride.) Her voice sank lower still; she faintly sighed And sought for words she could not seem to find. At Inst: " 'Twas I who picked It, do you mind?" Of course he didn't mind (she was his bride). But thought it such a pretty little trick He laid down twenty more for her . pick. (She was a bride.) -Ths Elite. RELIGIOUS NEWS AND COMMENT Batch of Things of Interest to Church Going People.

The time by which Dr. Dixon intimated he would give his answer has expired, however, and the officers of the church expect to re ceive it at any time. From a reliable source The Tribune is informed that Dr. Dixon's answer will be one of ac ceptance, though he has not officially made any such intention known. A telegram was received from Dr. Dixon yesterday stating that he has been ill, which probably accounts for the fail ure to receive a letter from him, giv ing his answer to the call. RELIGIOUS NOTES.
