Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa. CORNELL COLLEGE Mount Vernon, Iowa April 21 1917 Mrs. Gertrude S. Martin, 934 Stewart Avenue, Ithaca, New York. Dear Mrs. Martin: We are very much pleased to receive the news of our unanimous election to membership in the Association of Collegiate Alumnae at the recent meeting in Washington. This is an honor which we highly appreciate, and which, I am sure, will be of great benefit to our alum¬ nae and to our college. We hope that in our modest way we, too, may also contribute to the success of your Association, and that a large number of our alumnae may immediately avail themselves of the privilege of membership. 'I shall send you within two or three days a list of our alumnae with their addresses. I am enclosing herewith draft of a letter as you suggested. Yours very truly, (Signed) Chas. W. Flint. The above correspondence will be welcome and enjoyable reading to Cornellians as it is a very noteworthy recognition of the standards and standing of Cornell College. This is attested by their published requirements for membership, under which our application was made some months ago. These requirements are quoted below: 4 CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBERSHIP I. Academic Standard. For the present the Association will use as its standard for acamedic rating the list of colleges recommended by the Association of American Universities to foreign universities, containing not only those institutions which are on the accepted list of the Carnegie Foundation but also those which are certified by this Foundation as of equivalent standing but excluded from its accepted list for other than educational reasons. II. Additional Requirements. An institution, the graduates of which may be admitted, must show the following additional qualifica¬ tions: 1. There shall be a reasonable recognition of women in the fac¬ ulty and in the student body, and proper provision for the intellectual and social needs of women students. 2. Much weight shall be given to the fact where women are on the Board of Trustees, especially in women’s colleges. 3. In the consideration of a co-educational institu¬ tion great weight shall be given to the fact that such institution has a dean or advisor of women, above the rank of instructor, who is counted a regular member of the faculty. 4. Women on the faculty shall receive the same salaries as men of the same rank. 5. No co¬ educational institution shall be considered in which there is not spec¬ ial provision, through halls of residence or other buildings, for the so¬ cial life of the women students. Procedure: I. A college or universitv that meets the academic requirement named above may be brought up for consideration by the Committee* on the Recognition of Colleges and Universities. II. If approved by the Committee the name of such college or university is proposed to the Branches of the Association. III. If no information received from the Branches renders postponement advisable, the name of the college or university is presented to the Council. Upon the favorable vote of three-fourths of the members of the Council, tl e alumnae of such college or university are made eligible to the As¬ sociation. *Committee on Recognition of Colleges and Universities: Miss Marion Reilly, Chairman, Penny groves, Bryn Mawr, Pa.; Miss Flor¬ ence M.

As will be seen from the above, Cornell College is one of only four institutions in Iowa honored by membership in this organization, the others being Drake, Grinnell and the State University. Only six other Methodist institutions besides Cornell 6 CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN have been admitted. Cornell is not only the only Methodist College in Iowa so recognized, but IS THE ONLY METHO¬ DIST COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY WEST OF CHICAGO included in the membership. THE PURPOSE OF THE ASSOCIATION The Association of Collegiate Alumnae is a National Association of college women with seventy-five Branches throughout the country. It was founded in Boston in 1882, by a group of women representing a half dozen colleges of high academic standlard, for the purpose of uniting the alumnae of different institutions for practical educational work, for the collection and publication of statistical and other infor¬ mation concerning education, and for the maintenance of higher standards of education in general. It endeavors to fulfil these pur¬ poses through the national organization and through its local Branches. Each Branch is a local club that makes for pleasant acquaintance and friendliness while doing educational, civic and social work in the community and in co-operation with the National Committees and Conferences on: I. Fellowships for Graduate Study in Europe and America. Under this Committee there are awarded each year several fellow¬ ships for graduate study. II. Educational Legislation —state and national. This Commit¬ tee not only studies present and proposed legislation and uses influ¬ ence to further desirable and prevent undesirable legislation; but through Committees in local branches it is initiating local legislation to secure needed improvements in the schools. III. Vocational Opportunities in gainful occupations other than teaching. This Committee is doing very important work in the in¬ vestigation of the widening field of opportunity open to women. It has published: 1. A Vocational Bulletin. 2. A Bulletin on Oppor¬ tunities in Domestic Science. 3. An Occupational Census of College Women. This Committee encourages the establishment of Bureaus of Occupation for the guidance and placement of college women. IV. Volunteer Service. This Committee endeavors to make ef¬ fective for social service the training and power of those college wo¬ men who can afford to give their services without remuneration in all sorts of social betterment movements. V. , Foreign Students. This Comittee is trying to bring about a better understanding and more cordial relations between our own and foreign countries by encouraging the entrance into our colleges and universities of foreign women students who can in time interpret their people to us and us to them. VI. Cooperation with Government Bureaus , particularly the Children’s Bureau, the Labor Bureau and the Bureau of Immigration. MEMBERSHIP I. CORPORATE Affiliated Membership. Any General Association of Alumnae of an CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN 7 A. C. A. college may become an Affiliated Member of the A. C. A. II. INDIVIDUAL General Membership. This is open to any alumna of any A. C. A. college upon the payment of annual dues of one dollar to the Na¬ tional Treasurer. This membership entitles the holder to the A. C. A. Journal. General members have all the rights and privi¬ leges of the Association. Branch Membership 1. Regular Membership. Any alumna of an A. C. A. college who joins a local Branch of the A. C. A. thereby becomes a member of the National organization as well, and is entitled to the same rights and privileges as a general member, execpt that her representation in the Council and in the General Association is counted through her Branch. 2. Associate Membership (Ex-Students) . Associate members in a Branch are those women who have pursued at least one year’s full academic work in any college granting a B. A. degree, and who have been elected by the Branch to Associate member¬ ship. The rights and privileges of Associate members, as well as the amount of their dues, are regulated by the Branch itself. They are not eligible to National Membership and pay no nation¬ al dues. No Branch is required to admit Associate members if it does not so desire. Each Branch does local work of its own choosing although it is also expected to co-operate with one or more of the National Com¬ mittees. The work of the Branches is as varied as their geographical distribution, and many of the finest achievements of college women in this country have been initiated and carried out by A. C. A. Branches. At the present time they are working along all lines of educational, civic, and social betterment. Another Gratifying Announcement A few weeks ago our College constituency was stirred by the an¬ nouncement of the General Education Board of New York that a con¬ ditional appropriation of $100,000 had been made to Cornell. This second grant to our College is of special significance and is a striking testimonial to its standing and worth. The General Education Board was founded in 1902 by John D. Rockefeller for “the promotion of education within the United States of America without distinction of race, sex and creed.” A number of the most able educators and public benefactors of the country com¬ pose its membership. It is superior to all “pull” or special influence, deciding all its gifts on the basis given in the next paragraph. It puts “no pressure, direct or indirect, upon any College or University with a view to influencing its course of action” and has left “to the discre¬ tion of every institution with which it has in any way had relations complete power to shape its own course, externally and internally.” It gives just as readily to denominational Colleges as to others. 8 CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN The basis on which it makes appropriations, as set forth in its own words, reads: “In general it may be said that the Board seeks to assist in the further development of well established institutions, which appear to be ‘necessary factors in a well organized and well distributed per¬ manent system of higher education/ Before making appropriations, careful investigation is made to determine WHETHER AN INSTI¬ TUTION IS ‘NECESSARY’, in the sense that, if it did not exist or were not further developed, the higher education of the constituency which it now serves would be seriously hampered; WHETHER THE INSTITUTION IS REASONABLY WELL LOCATED, in the sense that no other stronger institution, doing substantially the same ser¬ vice, is already sufficiently accessible; finally, WHETHER THE IN¬ STITUTION IS LIKELY TO BE ‘PERMANENT’ in the sense that it has already passed beyond the tentative stage.” In view of the fact that the most thorough and searching investi¬ gation is made of all Colleges, their field, their work and their future, before favorable consideration, no possible recognition of Cornell College could be more significant, more flattering, or more gratifying. An even more significant consideration is the fact that this is the second $100,000 appropriation for Cornell. During the fifteen years since the Board was organized it has aided by gifts 110 of the 700 Colleges and Universities of the United States with appropriations averaging about $95,000 each. Of these 700 Colleges and Universities, only 31, including Cornell College, have received a second appropriation, and each appropriation to Cornell has been above the average amount. But— the above gift is conditional. It is not ours yet, and the obtaining of it depends on the loyalty and sacrifice of our constituency. In brief we must have $650,000 including their gift, $400,000 for endowment and $250,000 for buildings and improvements. Their gift is for and on the endowment part only, but the campaign by previous decision and arrangement must include the buildings and improvements. Plans are being made for the campaign which must be launched soon, and concluded about a year hence. The war has disturbed but not dismayed us. We cannot evade nor can we postpone; we must proceed. Every Cornellian will have to appropriate the largest possible amount for benevolent purposes for the next six years and apply the bulk of it to Christian higher education through Cornell College. Only thus can we win out and make ours this $100,000 from the General Education Board. CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN 9 THE MAY MUSIC FESTIVAL. May 24, 25 and 26 are the dates for the nineteenth Annual Cor¬ nell Music Festival. Quoted from the May Festival announcement, the attractions this year are: Alma Gluck, the most popular concert soprano in an entire evening of the most attractive songs; Efrem Zimbalist, the most magnetic of the younger violinists; Lambert Murphy, a really great festival tenor; Bertha Hart, a thoroughly satisfying pianist; the Oratorio Society, a splendid chorus of 150 voices in the ever enjoyable Hiawatha's Wedding Feast ; Frederick Stock, one of the world’s foremost conductors; and the Chicago Or¬ chestra, the best symphony orchestra in their only festival appear¬ ance west of Chicago and their fifteenth consecutive appearance at the Cornell Music Festival. There are as usual five concerts, the first one coming on Thurs¬ day evening. The talent engaged for these festivals has always been of the highest order. The above enumeration of the superior attrac¬ tions of the present year is more eloquent than extended comment cofcld be to those who are acquainted with the musical world. Mme. Gluck’s coming is her first appearance at any Iowa festival. The whole program is under the management of the Cornell College Con¬ servatory of Music with Professor Frank H. Shaw as director. THE SIXTY-FOURTH COMMENCEMENT. A Change in Program—Commencement Day Address to be at 10 A.M. Commencement Day this year comes on June 6. It is about a week earlier than heretofore and on Wednesday instead of Thursday. The Baccalaureate Sermon will be preached on Sunday, June 3, by President Charles W .Flint, and the address at Evening Vespers will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Elmer E. Higley of Des Moines. The alumni orator is Rev. Fred J. Clark, ’05, of Omaha, and the speaker of Commencement Day is Hon. Frederick M. Davenport, Professor of Political Science in Hamilton College, New York. Professor Daven¬ port was member of the New York senate in 1909-10 and nominee for governor in 1914. He has been otherwise prominent in public life and as special correspondent for the New York Outlook numer¬ ous articles have appeared from his pen in that journal. This year marks the Sixtieth Anniversity of the organization of the College of Liberal Arts. The institution began as a “Semin¬ ary” or Academy and its first four June commencement exercises were under that organization. In 1857 the College was organized and in 1858 a class of two was graduated. These two became husband and wife and Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Cavanagh settled in Iowa City where they are still living. Next year will mark the sixtieth anni¬ versary of their graduation. 10 CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN In celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the organization of the College this year, the senior class had planned to preesnt a Cor¬ nell Historical Pageant instead of the usual Commencement orations. The Pageant was to present epochal and characteristic scenes in the life of the college from the earliest times, and was scheduled for the morning of Commencement Day. This number on the printed pro¬ gram, already sent out, has had to be given up on account of the ex¬ traordinary conditions. A number of the men who had been assigned to important parts are now in the military training camps. The Commencement Addlress, therefore, and Conferring of Degrees will occur at 10 A. M., instead of 2 P. M., as on the printed program sent out, and the President’s Reception will be from 3-5 in the afternoon. Alumni Day will be Tuesday instead of Wednesday as hereto¬ fore. The “key” to the campus is delivered especially to the “sevens” this year—the classes from 1857 to 1917, and the classes of ’14 and ’16 being especially scheduled for reunions. The Alumni Dinner comes at 4:30 in the Alumni Gymnasium. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE CORNELL GUESTS. Vocational Conference and Girls’ Grex—The Interscholastic On April 26 and 27 occurred the Girls’ Vocational Conference and the Girls’ Grex. The principal speakers were Miss Helen Bennett, chairman of the Bureau of Occupations for Collegiate Women, in Chicago, who gave two addresses; Judge Mary Bartleme, of the Chi¬ cago Juvenile Court, who gave two addresses; Miss Jenette Lewis, county superintendent of Calhoun county; Miss Mary Gaston, super¬ vising community nurse in Cedar Rapids; and Miss Alice R. Betts, experienced in secretarial work in New York City. The Girls’ Grex, the annual breakfast, held in the Gymnasium, was the main social feature of the two days. To the Conference and the Grex many high high school girls in the surrounding territory were invited and the invitation was accepted by sixty or more of them for an enjoyable and profitable time. The Grex is a nicely appointed affair attended by practically all the girls and accompanied by a program of toasts. A week later, June 5, came the Interscholastic Meet. Track teams came from high schools as far west as Marshalltown and as far east as Freeport, Illinois. The Cornell Meet is popular with the high school boys as one of the “snappiest” in the state. One of the attrac¬ tive features is the largely attended banquet given the visitors in the gymnasium at six o’clock in the evening, when, in addition to the eat¬ ing, there are speeches and music and the presentation of medals to the winners. An entertainment is provided for the evening also—here¬ tofore a drama but this year the home concert of the Men’s Glee Club. Everything is free to the visitors and a fine spirit prevails. Of the twenty high schools which were entered in the meet this year, seven- CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN 11 teen sent teams and eleven won places. Marshalltown took first place with 24 points. DEATHS Dr. Hugh Boyd died at Mount Vernon, March 6, after prolonged illness. Dr. Boyd had a host of friends and admirers in the alumni. Beginning in 1871, he served the college for ten years as professor of Greek and Latin and for twenty-five as professor of Latin. He was acting president for one year. Captain E. B. Soper, LL. D., ’78, died suddenly at Kansas City, March 21, while on his way home from the South in company with Mrs. Soper. He was one of the stanchest, most devoted and most valued supporters Cornell ever had. He was for thirty-one years member of the Executive Committee, and for thirty-nine years mem¬ ber of the Board of Trustees of which he was president at the time of his death. Memorial pamphlets are in preparation for both Cap¬ tain Soper and Dr. Boyd. Harold E. Bowman, ’92, died November 26, 1916, at Norfolk, Vir¬ ginia. He was inspector in the U. S. Immigration Service. Myra Maurer, T4, died at Ottawa, Illinois, April 18, after an illness of almost a year. She engaged in teaching after graduation. CORNELL AND THE WAR, The old patriotism, so pronounced at Cornell in “the sixties”, promptly manifested itself in the present crisis, Cornell’s was among the earliest applications, to the national government for an officer to re-establish military training on the Campus, This procedure result¬ ed from faculty deliberation and an urgent petition signed by prac¬ tically all the men students. Specially appointed mass meetings were held early and the regular chapel assemblies took oh the same general character. Before an officer could be secured, drill was organized under the direction of the Commandant and officers of cadets from the State University, and Sergeant Harold Jordan, T2, of the Nation¬ al Guard. Lieutenant J. H. Dreibelbis, Reserve Officer of the Nation¬ al Guard, was later appointed by Adj. General Logan to the post of Commandant at Cornell and has been surprised at the rapidity and ease with which the three companies have been mastering the details of drill. The men have made good use of the drill manuals with which they supplied themselves early. Reviews and parades, with an unusually good band, have proven the excellent work of commandant and men. The companies include practically all the men students and some members of the faculty—universal military training at Cornell. Many of the men applied for appointment to the military training camps and on the first call fifteen, including two members of the fac¬ ulty, received appointments and are now in the camps. There have UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS-URBANA 0112 05625013 CORNELL COLLEGE BULLETIN been a number of enlistments by present and former students and alumni, and some alumni have received commissions. Others have joined the army of food producers and are now on the farms. The women of Cornell are included in the universal training. At the morning hour for drill, obtained by shortening the class hours, the young women are receiving regular class instruction in first aid relief and in nursing. The members of these classes are registered at the Red Cross headquarters in Washington and are preparing to take the examinations sent out from there. The First Aid classes, which have a combined membership of 300, are under the instruction of a number of physicians in the community. The cla§s of 46 in nursing is under the instruction of a registered nui»se fro^ti Dubuque. Frank Persons, 1900, has been appointed director of the Red Cross organization in the United States and has removed from New York to Washington. Professor S. L. Cjiandler will have charge of the courses in Soci¬ ology at Northwestern University during the coming summer session. Professor O. H. Smith read a paper at the meeting of the North Eastern Iowa Teachers Association. Charles E. Persons, ’03, professor in Economics in Washington University, St. Louis, contributed to the April Educational Review a 22 page paper on “The Introductory Course in Economics.” Earl Gammons, ’15, and Merle Manly, ’16, who have been on the Cedar Rapids Republican and Times have accepted places with the Minneapolis Tribune and Des Moines Register and Leader respect¬ ively. Albert M. Walker, ’08, has received the commission of Major of Engineers in the Officers Reserve Corps of the U. S. Army. He has been Topographic Engineer in the U. S. Geological Survey. Ethel Ryan, ’14, who has been taking advanced courses in physi¬ cal training this year at Columbia University, has been appointed Director of Physical Training for Women at Lawrence College, Wis. G. Avery Reeder, ’97, who has been International Secretary of the Army and Navy Department of the Y. M. C. A., has been com¬ missioned a Major in the regular army. George B. Mangold, ’01, Director of the St. Louis School of So¬ cial Economy, is author of a 40 page discussion of the “Public Treat¬ ment of Drunkenness in St. Louis”, in the Washington University Studies. James E. Bromwell, *81, of Marion, is now Grand Eminent Com¬ mander for Iowa of the Knights Templar. Howard L. Kern, ’07, Attorney General of Porto Rico, gives con¬ siderable space to a discussion of the new juvenile court in his last fiscal report. A. E. Murley, 15, has been promoted to be principal of the high school at Marion. W. Burt Millen, ’06, who was Cornell Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, England, 1908-11, is now proprietor and editor of the Saturday Night , published at Minneapolis, Minn. The Baseball season has so far (May 16) failed to record a single defeat for the Cornell team, the State University and Ames being numbered among the victims.
