DR.NICHOLS INAUGURATED

Tenth President of Dartmouth College-

President Schurman Honored.

Ernest Fox Nichols, M. S. '93;D. Sc '97, was inaugurated lastThursday at Hanover, N. H., asthe tenth president of DartmouthCollege. More than one hundred col-leges, American and European, wererepresented at the ceremonies. Cor-nell was represented by PresidentSchurman and also by Professor Ed-ward L. Nichols '75, who, while nota relative of President Nichols, hasbeen his friend and teacher for manyyears. While the new head of Dart-mouth was an undergraduate at theUniversity of Kansas, he studied un-der E. L. Nichols, then a professorthere, and it was then that he beganthe work in physics which has sincebrought him so much distinction. Hefollowed Professor Nichols to Cor-nell in 1889 and was for four yearsa graduate student in physics underhim here.

Honorary degrees were conferredby President Nichols on many of thevisitors at the inauguration, includ-ing President Schurman, who re-ceived the degree of Doctor of Laws.The British origin of the college(which was organized in 1769) wasrecalled by the presence of Ambas-sador Bryce. The state of NewHampshire was represented by Gov-ernor Quinby.

Following are some extracts fromthat part of President Nichols's in-augural address which dealt withundergraduate life:

"The reformer's indictment ismuch too long to discuss here in de-tail, but he has discovered, for in-stance, that the average young manin college does not care enough forknowledge to pay proper attentionto his studies. But this is not new,the average student never ba^.Άgainhe finds that too manv young men incollege drift into a life of ease aϊidindolence. But this is as true outof college as in. and worse, it is a

failing by no means confined to theyoung."

"As to how this much discusseddecline in scholarship, the real ex-istence of which I seriously doubt,has come about, there are widely dif-ferent opinions. In the first place,

it may be justly questioned whetherit is not apparent rather than real.The average student acquires moreand wider knowledge in college nowthan he did thirty years ago. Out-spoken scholarly enthusiasm ratherthan the getting of lessons seems tohave suffered. Many students appearto have relaxed a little in the se-riousness of purpose with which theyapproach their work. They certainlyshow more reserve in the way theyspeak of it. Here it must be remem-bered:, however, that fashions thecountry over have changed and theexpression of interest and enthusi-asm in some subjects is more stint-ingly measured than a generationago."

"In only one phase of college lifeto-day may a student, other thanshamefacedly, show a full measureof pleasurable excitement, and thatis in athletics. What migM not hap-pen to him who threw up his hat andcheered himself hoarse over a the-orem of algebra, or over the scholar-

Figures of Registration Show an Interest-ting Fact About Cornell.

What might be called Cornell's"nationalism" as a university isstrikingly brought out in an articleby Dr. Rudolf Tombo, jr., of Co-lumbia University, in a late numberof Science. The article deals with"the geographical distribution of thestudent body at a number of univer-sities and colleges." It does notdray any such sweeping conclusionwith regard to Cornell as is indicat-ed above, but the conclusion is in-evitable from a consideration of Dr.Tombo's facts. He presents in atable the figures of attendance attwenty-one American universitiesfrom the six grand divisions of thecountry (North Atlantic, South At-lantic, South Central, North Cen-tral, Western, and insular and non-contiguous territories) and likewisefrom all the individual states andterritories. In considering Cornell,he treats this university as one of"the six eastern universities," thegroup consisting of Columbia,Cornell, Harvard, Pennsylvania,Princeton and Yale. It is fair tosay that this group of universitiesleads the country in what we havecalled "nationalism" of attendance.How does Cornell compare with theothers of the group in this respect?

DISTRIBUTION BY STATES.

The first thing that strikes one isthe comparative proportion of stu-dents that each university drawsfrom outside its own state. It isshown that Princeton draws 80 percent, of its total attendance fromoutside New Jersey,Yale 66 per cent,from outside Connecticut, CornellJf.7.8 per cent, from outside NewYork, Harvard 4.6.9 per cent, fromoutside Massachusetts, Columbia 87per cent, from outside New Yorkstate, and the University of Penn-sylvania only 82 per cent, from out-side the state of Pennsylvania. Onthe face of these figures it would

38 CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS

appear that, in point of attendancefrom outside its own state, Cornellwas less representative of the coun-try at large than either Princetonor Yale, about equally so with Har-vard, and more so than Columbia orPennsylvania. But the actual fig-ures show this: Yale draws fromoutside its own state 2,259 students,Harvard 2,047, Cornell 1,880, Co-lumbia 1,760, Pennsylvania 1,385and Princeton only 1,050. And itmust be remembered, in making thiscomparison of Cornell with Yale,Harvard and Princeton, that NewYork State is ten times as large andeight times as populous as Connecti-cut, seven times as large and fourtimes as populous as New Jersey,and six times as large and more thantwice as populous as Massachusetts,so that Cornell's 2,099 studentsfrom the state of New York repre-sent a far wider geographical distri-bution than Yale's 1,180 from Con-necticut, Harvard's 2,320 fromMassachusetts or Princeton's iβ4from New Jersey. And, further-more, although the greatest centerof population in the country, the cityof New York, is within Cornell'sstate, Cornell is less easily accessi-ble from it than is Yale ci Prince-ton or even Harvard—a fact whichtends unduly to swell their attend-ance from outside their own states.It should be noted, too, that about1,000 of Cornell's New York statestudents receive free tuition by rea-son of their residence within thestate, and were presumably drawnto her by this single accident. Nosuch factor affects in such a degreethe attendance of any of the threeother universities just mentioned.Of all the twenty-one universitiesDr. Tombo includes in his table,only one, Michigan, approaches thelarge eastern institutions in geo-graphical distribution of students,and 53.5 per cent, of Michigan's stu-dents are from its own state.

BY GRAND DIVISIONS.

The contrast appears strongerwhen we consider grand divisionsinstead of states. All "the six east-ern universities" are situated in theNorth Atlantic division (New Eng-land, New York, New Jersey andPennsylvania). The proportion ofits students drawn from outside this

local division by each of these uni-versities is as follows:Princeton 30 per cent.Yale 29Cornell 28Harvard 24Columbia 20Pennsylvania 17

In proportions, it is seen, Prince-ton and Yale slightly exceed Cornell,but the actual figures (number ofstudents from outside the localgrand division) are: Cornell, 1,124;Harvard, 1,027; Yale, 990; CiOαm-bia, 943; Pennsylvania, 724; Prince-ton, 389.

Michigan gets only 23 per cent,of its students (1,070) from outsideits local grand division.

It appears, therefore, that in at-tendance of students Cornell is morerepresentative of the country and theworld at large than any other Amer-ican university.

"Compared with 1906," says Dr.Tombo, "Columbia and Cornell haveeach increased their patronage fromoutside their own state by three percent. Harvard has increased it byone per cent., Princeton has re-mained uniform, while the outsideclientele of Pennsylvania and Yfolehas been lowered one per cent, since1906."

In the principal stages of theNorth Atlantic division Cornell'srank as to number of students is asfollows: New York, second to Co-lumbia; New Jersey, fourth to Co-lumbia, the University of Pennsyl-vania and Princeton; Pennsylvania,second to the University of Pennsyl-vania; Connecticut, fourth to Yale,Columbia and Harvard; Vermont,third to Harvard and Yale; Massa-chusetts, third to Harvard and Yale.

In the South Atlantic division(coast states from Delaware to Flor-ida) Cornell leads. Cornell leads inthe District of Columbia, and getsmore students from Virginia thanany other university except the Uni-versity of Virginia and Johns Hop-kins.

In the South Central division Vir-ginia heads the list with 140, fol-lowed by Harvard, 91 Columbia, 90;Michigan, 90; Cornell, 88; and Yale,88. Cornell's representation in thisdivision is evenly distributed; in in-dividual states, Cornell is second to

BEATEN BY FORDHAM.

'Varsity Eleven Defeated, 12 to 6, ThroughSlowness and Inaccuracy.

Greater alertness and speed andsuperior skill in recovering the ballafter fumbles enabled the Fordhamteam to defeat the Varsity eleven onPercy Field last Saturday by a scoreof 12 to 6—two touchdowns to one.Both Fordham's touchdowns (one inthe first half and the other in thesecond) were gained, not by carry-ing the ball across the goal line, butby getting to it and falling on itafter it had rolled over the line. Ononly one other occasion did Fordhamseriously threaten Cornell's goal, andthat was when McCarthy caught aCornell forward pass on Fordham's3 5-yard line and raced to Cornell's15-yard line, where has was brilliant-ly tackled by Owen, a substitutequarterback.

Three times in the first half Cor-nell carried the ball within twentyyards of Fordham's goal and then

st it—once on downs and twice onfumbles, a Fordham player recover-ing the ball after each fumble. Cor-nelΓs touchdown, made early in thesecond half, was the result of a for-ward pass from midίield, Owen toTydeman, which put the ball on the7-yard line.

This was Cornell's first meetingwith Fordham in football. Thegame may be turned to advantage bythe coaches by using it as an illus-tration to the team of how victorycan be won by keeping close to theball and not trusting to somebodyelse to recover it. Seagrave. the cen-ter, set the rest of the team a goodexample in this respect, as did Sim-son. Both these men rowed in the'varsity eight last summer and areplaying their first season of Varsityfootball. Owen, another new player,alone prevented Fordham from mak-

^ a third touchdown. He tackledMcCarthy, Fordham's fast left end.on Cornell's 15-yard line after Mc-Carthy had run sixty yards and hada clear field. Owen overtook him,worked in ahead of the interferenceand made a flying tackle. Owen is aproduct of Rugby football, havingentered the present senior class lastvear from Stanford.

CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 39

In straight rushing Cornell madea net gain of 119 yards, sixty ofwhich were the result of two forwardpasses, and Fordham made a netgain of 81 yards by rushing. Ford-ham used the forward pass only once,and then without gain. Cornell usedit five times, three attempts beingfailures. Cornell ran back punts andonside kicks for 47 yards, Fordhamfor 82. Cornell gained 70 yards byblocking two kicks Fordham gained55 by catching and running back aCornell forward pass. In puntingCornell had a slight advantage, butthis was partly because the Varsitydefended the west goal, with thewind at its back, for all but aboutfive minutes of the entire game.

THE GAME.

Cornell kicked off, and on the firstplay Gargan went around Cornell'sright end to midfield. Walsh puntedto Baker, who misjudged and fum-bled the ball, and it rolled acrossthe line, where McCarthy fell on itfor a touchdown. Geary kicked goal.Score: Fordham 6, Cornell 0.

Cornell soon had a chance to scorewhen Walsh's punt went out ofbounds on Fordham's 25-yard line.Tydeman and Simson advanced theball to within a foot of the line,where Fordham held for downs.Baker heeled Walsh's punt on the27-yard line, and Cornell resumedthe attack, only to lose the ball on afumble on the 15-yard line. Fromthat point Fordham advanced byrushing to Cornell's 18-yard line,where Cornell held for downs. Cor-nell gained by an exchange of onsidekicks and punted to Fordham's 20-yard line. Fordham punted and re-covered the ball on a fumble at mid-field, punted again and recovered theball on a fumble at Cornell's 25-yard line, and there tried for a fieldgoal. Simson broke through, blockedthe kick, and ran to Fordham's 23-yard line before Captain Garganovertook and tackled him. Garganshould never have been allowed toreach him. Owen was substitutedfor Baker; he tried a quarterbackrun but dropped the ball, and Ford-ham recovered it. Score, end of firsthalf: Fordham 6, Cornell 0.

After the kick-off and two puntsby either side in the second half,Owen and Tydeman worked a for-

ward pass for forty-three yards toFordham's 7-yard line, and Simsongot a touchdown after three plunges.Tydeman kicked goal, tying thescore. Weekes had taken Farring-ton's place in the Cornell line.Fordham got the kick-off on their20-yard line, but lost ten yards intrying to rush. Walsh punted tomidfield. Tydeman caught the ballbut dropped it when tackled andFordham recovered it. An onsidekick bounded over Owen's head andthe ball rolled over the line, whereMcCaffrey fell on it for a touchdown.Geary kicked goal. Score: Fordham12, Cornell 6. Stude took Monk'splace in the line, and Gass was sub-stituted for Simson. Neither goalwas in great danger after this exceptwhen McCarthy got away from allthe Cornell team but Owen. The Cor-nell quarterback was knocked out byhis flying tackle and Wood took hisplace for the last few minutes of thegame. Captain Gargan tried for afield goal from the 15-yard line,where McCarthy had been tackled,but missed by a few feet. Fordhamgot the ball before Cornell was outof danger and Gargan tried again.Gass blocked the kick. Wood trieda forward pass and then an onsidekick without success just before timewas called. Shortly after Fordham'ssecond touchdown the big score boardat the east end of the field fell overbackward.

Change in the Method of Awarding theBoardman Law Scholarship.

On the recommendation of thefaculty of the College of Law, achange has been made by the Trus-tees of the University in the rulesgoverning the award of the Board-man Senior Law Scholarship. Here-tofore the prize has b^en awarded inJune to the junior who during thepreceding two year* had done themost satisfactory work in the Col-lege of Law. Hereafter it is to beawarded to the junior who, in thejudgment of the faculty, has donethe best work in law subjects to theend of his junior course. The pur-pose of the change is to make eligi-ble for the scholarship the now con-siderable number of students whotake the first year of law work whileregistered as seniors in the Collegeof Arts and Sciences. Such studentshave been excluded from the schol-arship competition because, up to theend of their junior year in the lawcollege, they had had only one year asactual students of that college. Thescholarship was founded by the lateJudge Douglas Boardman, the firstdean of the college. Its value is$100, payable during the senior year:

Old Track Men's Plans for Reunion inHonor of Coach Moakley.

(Contributed.)

John F. Moakley came to Cornellin 1899- Cornell won her first 'cross-country championship in 1899. Andnow, ten years later, all the Cornelldistance runners are coming back toIthaca on November 13 to take partin a celebration in honor of the coachwho has done so much for good inathletics in Ithaca.

One of the events on the programof the reunion is a run around oneof the regular courses with the Var-sity squad. Another is to take in theCornell-Chicago game. Another is adinner at which will be present all'cross-country and track enthusiasts,and those connected with otherbranches of Cornell athletics. It ishoped that several of the footballcoaches will be present and also mem-bers of the teams.

So much enthusiasm has beenshown, especially over the proposedrun with the Varsity, that many ofthe old runners have donned theirtogs and have taken secret practicespins to see if they can still travelas in the old days. The fact is, itlooks now as if a large enough num-ber of alumni would actually startto give the Varsity a close run forthe point score. Such men as thefollowing are planning to toe themark on the morning of the ΪSth:Gallagher Όl, the first-Cornellian towin a distance championship Mc-Meekan '03, Foster '04, Smith '04,Woodward '04, Schutt '05, the firstto win a 'cross-country championshipfor Cornell; Starr Όβ, Munson Όβ.twice winner of the mile at the inter-collegiates; Magoffin '07, who wasawarded his " C " in eight seasons inthe distance runs; Lewis '07, Nobis'07, Halstead '08, Seelye '08, Lemon'08, Trube '08 and Colpitts '09. Itsounds like the enumerating of the"captains and heroes of a vanishedhost." Berry '04 wants to run butcan't because he weighs 210. How-ever, he has challenged anybody inthe 200-pound class to a race fromthe Library to the Armory—a box ofcigars to the winner.

Smith, Woodward and Lemon com-pose the committee that have pushedthe affair along. Bulletins have beenissued from time to time containingaccounts of the progress made in

the plans, together with letters fromthe fellows, telling how their partic-ular class plans to "slip one over"on some other class. Enthusiasmis strong among the New York con-tingent, and Smith and Trube, com-ing down from New England, round-ed up the crowd for dinner at theN. Y. A. C. on Wednesday night,October 6. The party was made upof McMeekan '03, E. E. Seelye '04,Munson Ό6, Halstead '08, and wasjoined by "Buck" Stowell '07, whorowed in the crews of 1906 and 1907.

The reunion will be unique andwill accomplish two purposes: first,it will, as said before, give the mena chance to show their appreciationof Jack Moakley's work, and, sec-ond, it will serve as a splendid tes-timonial to the good after effects ofathletics properly and sanely pur-sued. The committee says that if itcan get a large enough number of thealumni back the lesson will be astrong one because everybody seemsto feel so fit. The average of healthamong the old athletes who have runlong-distance races is very high, andno branch of athletics can be regard-ed as a more rigorous test.

A concert in Scranton, Pa., hasbeen added to the schedule of theholiday trip of the musical clubs. Itwill take place on December 22, be-ing the first one given by the clubsafter they leave Ithaca. Scrantonhas been substituted for Troy on theitinerary, as it was found to be im-practicable to visit the latter citywithin the time at the clubs' dis-posal.

Gilbert Holmes Crawford, of Ny-ack? N. Y., a member of the seniorclass, was elected Commodore of theNavy at a meeting of the 'varsitycrew men held in Barnes Hall lastweek. Crawford has stroked theVarsity four at Poughkeepsie forthe past two years. He is a memberof Quill and Dagger and of GemelKharm.

Ithaca, N. Y., October 20, 1909.

PRESIDENT NICHOLS of Dartmouth

has had good opportunities to ob-serve the American college student.He studied at the University of Kan-sas and at Cornell, and he has taughtat Colgate, Columbia and Dartmouth.He can make intelligent comparisonof the American with the German stu-dent, too, for he spent two years atthe University of Berlin. So it isencouraging to read what he has tosay about the so-called evils of un-dergraduate life nowadays. Hethinks the indifference of the "aver-age student" toward scholarship ismore apparent than real, and is dueto a present fashion in this countryto speak on the lighter aspects ofeven grave matters. It is not con-sidered in the best taste just now, hethinks, to get into heated discussionsand controversies over man's most

vital intellectual and spiritual con-cerns. The student body, and thefaculty, too, reflect a general tenden-cy toward reserve in speaking of se-rious matters. In intercollegiateathletics President Nichols sees muchgood. He thinks it is the dramatic,rather than the competitive elementthat makes athletic contests so pop-ular, and he doubts if a dramatic set-ting can ever be given to purelyscholastic competition. He differshere from President Lowell of Har-vard. What Dr. Nichols hopes forin our college life is less "masquerad-ing in an assumed mental apathy"and a freer and more fearless ex-pression of genuine enthusiasm.

PRESIDENT SCHURMAN has now re-

ceived the honorary degree of Doctorof Laws six times, the latest collegeto confer the distinction on him beingDartmouth. The others were Co-lumbia, 1892; Yale, 1901; Edin-burgh, 1902; Williams, 1908, andHarvard, 1909.

FROM A READING of the list of sen-

ior society men and their distinctionsit would appeart hat athletes carry offthe greater share of undergraduatehonors. But one need not jump tothe conclusion that athletic distinc-tion is the highest possible distinc-tion in the undergraduate student'sview. Athletics offer many prizessuch as captaincies and manager-ships which require talent, industryand personality to win. So do thestudent publications, which seem tobe second to athletics in the produc-tion of senior society material. TheUniversity provides no such scale forthe measurement of distinction inscholarship. If it were provided,undoubtedly the senior societies•would recognize it. And some of themen who now owe their selection toathletic or journalistic or businesstalent would also stand well up in thelist of scholars.

SOON AFTER THE Fordham teammade its second touchdown againstthe Varsity eleven last Saturday andthe score was CORNELL 6, OP-PONENT 12, the big score boardat the east end of Percy Field fellover backward. We hope the boardwill not again this year have anyreason to hide its face from the spec-tators.

Pittsburg Club Elects Officers and Discusses Alumni Field.

PITTSBURG, PA., Oct. 17—The reg-ular fall meeting of the Cornell Clubof Western Pennsylvania was heldlast Saturday evening at the Pitts-burg University Club. The follow-ing officers were elected for the en-suing year: President, John N. Os-trom '77; vice-president, J. HansonRose Ό6 secretary and treasurer, R.R. Lally '08. Mr. Ostrom, the newlyelected president, is well knownamong Cornellians, having beenstroke and captain of several Var-sity crews in the 70's.

Following the election of officersan enthusiastic discussion on theEquipment Fund of the Alumni FieMtook place. It was decided to makea personal appeal to each memberof the club for a subscription.

After the business meeting every-one settled down for a good time andfrom all reports no one was disap-pointed. Throughout the evening"Hans" Rose was in evidence withhis "liquid tenor" and "Kip" Smithmade several addresses on currenttopics, his views being loudly ap-Dlauded. "Walt" Wing, "Bill"Forbes and "Cliff" Stevens gavesome "hot dope" on baseball in theform of a recital. In the course ofthe evening the Cornell "stoodents"exchanged greetings with some Pur-due alumni who were holding a smok-er in an adjoining room.

Losr in the Hudson Bay Country?

A despatch from Madison, Wis.,to the Associated Press, under dateof October 10, said: "Professor C.K. Leith of the department of geol-ogy of mines [of the University ofWisconsin], who is at the head of aparty investigating rock formationnear Hudson Bay and supposed to beworking in the interest of the Cana-dian Government in a search for ore,is believed to be lost in the Canadianwilds. No report of any sort hasbeen received since the party enteredthe wilds of Northern Ontario. Theyare expected back the latter part ofSeptember. The party, consistingof Professor Leith, Hugh M. Robertsof Superior and Francis S. Adamsof Deerwood, Minn., left Madison inearly June. It is supposed the party

is somewhere in the vicinity of JamesBay."

Francis S. Adams is a graduate ofSibley College of the class of 1908.He was president of the MusicalClubs in 1907-08 and is a member ofthe Theta Delta Chi fraternity. Inthe NEWS for August was printed thesubstance of a letter written by himat Moose Post, Hudson Bay, on July19, addressed to the editor and re-ceived in Ithaca on August 2, inwhich he said he expected to be inIthaca in October. So far as isknown this is the latest word receivedfrom him.

ly achievements of the faculty?Some young men appear to havegrown shy and to fell that a showof enthusiasm over ideas revealseither doubtful breeding, a lack ofbalance, or small experience with the^orld."

"May we not henceforth live ourcollege life on a somewhat higherplane, where real simplicity, natural-ness and downright sincerity replaceall traces of sophistication and wrongideals. Let genuine enthusiasm findfreer and more fearless expression,that we may become more manly,strong and free\ Why can't somecollege men stop masquerading in anassumed mental apathy and be spon-taneously honest?"

"Some who have sought an explan-ation of this slightly altered tone ϊncollege life blame intercollegiate ath-letics for the changed conditions, butI am not able to find the cause there,and believe, as I have already sug-gested, that it lies far deeper in thechanged conditions of society and ournational life."

"Intercollegiate sports do more tounite the whole college and give ita sense of solidarity than any otherundergraduate activity, and thusserve a worthv purpose. Moreover^the lessons of sport are lessons oflife and it is the moral world ratherthan the physical benefit of athleticswhich we can ill afford to lose fromstudent life. They effectively teacha hi^h degree of self control, con-centrated attention, prompt and vig-orous action, instant and unswerv-ing obedience to orders, and a disci-pline in accepting1 without protest aclose ruling even if a wrong one, in

"That a wider competition inscholarship than we now have wouldproduce some useful results lies be-yond question^ but that those who ex-pect most of all things from it willbe disappointed may be confidentlypredicted. It seems to me that thelarger part of the ardor studentsshow for athletic contests is due moreto the appeal which bodily combatalways makes to the dramatic sensethan to the competitive idea in it-self. It is the manly struggle morethan the victory which men go out tosee. I can not conceive how we areto clothe scholarship contests with adramatic setting—as well attempt tostage the book of Job, aptly called'the drama of the inner life.' Thedrama of scholarship must ever be adrama of the inner life which willnever draw a cheering multitude norlight bonfires."

"Most that I have said of under-graduate life has been in analysisof its weakest members. The vastmajority of college men are sound inmind and heart and purpose and noyoung men were ever worthier ofadmiration and respect than these. Ihave not dwelt upon them becausetheir condition suggests no vexedpedagogical nor administrative prob-lems/'

In the North Central divisionthere are a dozen state universitiesthat, naturally, have a larger patron-age than any of the eastern insti-tutions, which come in this order:Yale, Cornell, Harvard, Columbia,Pennsylvania, Princeton — Cornelland Harvard having exchangedplaces since last year. "Columbia'srepresentation in this group ofstates has grown from 2β2 to 398 infour years, Cornell's from 381 to521, Yale's from 506 to 595, Penn-sylvania's from 139 to 186, whileHarvard's has dropped from 526 to502, and Princeton's from 209 to162."

In some of the individual statesof this group, considering only thesix eastern universities, Cornell issecond to Yale in Illinois, third toColumbia and Harvard in Indiana,and first in Wisconsin, Michigan andOhio.

"In the Western division (leavingCalifornia and Stanford out of con-sideration) Michigan is still in, thelead, with Northwestern, Harvard,Columbia and Yale, each of which at-tracts over one hundred studentsfrom this section, following; thencome Cornell [95], Illinois, Missouri,Wisconsin, Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, Pennsylvania."
