The dining began at 6.30 o'clock and
lasted nearly two hours. At its con
elusion, Chairman Davidson opened the
siiecchmaklng by welcoming President
Sehurman and reading a letter of re
gret from Hev. Dr. Charles M. Tyler, of
Ithaca, whom the alumni had hoped i xm
would be one of the eursts. "
James Gardner Sanderson, upon be
ing introduced as toastmaster, made
reference to the remarkable growth of
Cornell during tho decade that Presi
dent Sehurmnn has been at its head,
and then Introduced President Schur
liiiin to respond to the loasl "Cornell."
Dr. Schurman's response was In the
nature of a survey of Cornell's growth
and standing. Spiking of the Yale bi
centennial, the two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of Harvard and the one
hundred nnd fiftieth anniversary of
Princeton, all of which were recent
ceUbrations, he said that one cannot
attend these without being brought to
the realization of tho advantage a uni
versity enjoys by reason of that one
circumstance of age.
"Yale. Harvard and Princeton enjoy
this enormously," he went on to say.
"Cornell Is new. It has to stand on
merit. I am not saying we have more
merit than any other university. That
would be an ungracious thing. What
I would bring out is that Cornell has
not the advantage of the circumstance
of age. This being the case, the pres
ent position of Cornell In the college
world Is something or which Cornelians
can well be proud. Having nothing but
n present, she has taken, according to
tho concensus or public opinion, a ptacu
among the great universities of the
land."
Dr. Schurmnn then gave some inter
esting statistics concerning the univer
sity. GROWTH OF MRMP.F.P.SIIIP.
This year tho Increase in the number
of students ns compared with last year
Is greater than that of Yale, Princeton
and Harvard combined. Cornell now
nas s.s o studen a rr X'i more ban were I
enrolled at this time last year.
Half of the.so students come from tin
state of N'ew York, Tim other hal
represent overy state in the Pnlte
States, except Nevada, Idaho and Sout
Dakota. Pennsylvania contributes
more than two hundred. Illinois, New
.Ters' y and Ohio havo each more than
one hundred representatives In tho stu
dent body. Canada, Mexico, oiibn,
Porto lllco. Hrnzll, Peru, Argentine He.
public, Kiutland, Switzerland, Russia,
Austria, Turkey, Australasia. China,
Japan, Corea, all send students to Cor
nell. An oven 1,000 students nro In tho de
partments of arts and sciences nnd
about a thousand Is hi tho engineering
department. The other soo am divided
among the various other departments,
law, medicine, agriculture, veterinary,
architecture' and the like.
tleferrlug to tho criticism of Cornell,
Fometlmes Indulged In, that it s mm.
tarlan and materialistic, President
Sehurman declared:
"Wherever human knowledge, organ
lzed aa It Is In science, can accomplish
soma good result tho new application
of n force, the making of two blades of
grass to grow where one grow before
or the' like-there is tho mission of
Cornell university."
Cornell has been very fortunate, he
raid, in tho matter of endowments
and gifts. The recent munlilcent do
nation of n medlcul school by Colonel
Payne, of New York, was referred to
ns' an Instancu of tho latter. Tho on.
