CORNELL UNIVERSITY. (Continued from Fifth Page.) deep, tortuous canyon cut ihrousrh the rocky strata of Gienn mountain, by a stream of pure water, having - its source in springs scattered through the highlands that rise a thousand feet above Seneca Lake. lt is broken in its descent, from sec tion to section, into cascades and pools of rare beauty. Rainbow ^Falls cannot be described, the sun shining through the mist of the sparkling water, producing miriads of rainbows. Money has not been spared to add to the wonders of na ture. The genius of man is here illustrated in the hundreds of stone steps that enable the sightseer to ascend and desend, for hundreds of feet, with less fatigue or danger, and the wonderful suspension, and '?other bridges certainly prove the genius of man. I would like for the readers now to imagine themselves with me as I am comfortably seated in a grand ?touring car viewing the picturesque panorama. For thirty miles or over are splendid automobile roads back to the beautiful campus of Cornell. We will now attempt a description of the three large buildings used as Sormitories. Cascadilla is a splen did, substantial structure, where Goldsmith resided, who was Cor nell'* first proof in English history. He left comfort and high position ?""in England io come to Cornell at its beginning. D. White Servey, f as first president. His home is still os the campus. Prudence Risley Hall, the new dormitory, could not be described. In grandeur, it resembles an im mense tourist hotel with every mod ern improvement. They have their own electric plant. The cooking, laundry, sweeping, etc., is done by electricity. It would be folly to at tempt to describe the artistic part of this building. The pictures are real studies, being copies of the most renowned paintings of the world. Under each picture is a gilt frame containing the facts of interest pertaining to the picture above, and they have some wonder ful sculpture. The whole lower floor is devoted to parlors, reception halls, libraries and dining room. The upper floors are handsomely . furnished. The bed rooms, each having a private shower bath. Sage College, the other dormitory for women, is more conveniently lo cated to the auditorium, etc. The .Bailey Auditorium, named in honor of one long director of the Agricul tural College. The seats (two thou sand and over) are crowded on ev ery occasion. There is now being completed an auditorium which will seat ten thousand. This is in the new Armory building. In the Bail ey auditorium is a twenty-five thou sand dollar pipe organ, one of the most magnificent instruments in the U. S. It was recently presented the University by Andrew Carnagie An attempt to describe the musical recitals given by Mr. Jas. Quarles, pipe organ professor at Cornell, and Proffessor E. R. Kroger, would be folly, for only hearing is believing it possible for human fingers, on an instrument invented by human minds, to produce such Heavenly ^strains of music. At one of Prof. Kr?gers' recitals, he played a Diece called "Chimes." The sweet toned bells, as soft as Swiss bells, soun.ied from the ro tunda as if the music was cheiubs of a Heavenly choir. j .The next day, during our re -ita tion, one in tile class asked Prof. Kroger if he did not believe it re l quired inspiration to play as he did? k|Vi.th a smiling face like a ray of Sunshine, his reply was. "Not so ftnuch inspiration as perservation," JPwhich had made it possible for him to accomplish the following: At the age of 23 he entered upon his career, and since that time has been ^before the public, as composer, or ganist, teacher, conductor, editor, lecturer and writer upon musical topics. He has been President of The Teacher's National Association and also President of the Missouri Musical Teachers' Association. He ^was appointed Master of Programs on the Bureau of Music at the St. ?*}*>uis World's Fair. For his work there, he was elected an officer to the French Academy. Was recent ly elected a member of the National Institute of Art and Letters. Was Director of the College of Music at 'Forest Park University and Direc tor and Business Manager of the Kroger School of Music at St. Louis. Organist of the Church of the Messiah of the same city. Ic 1916 was Adjudicator of the Welch Eisteddfod at Canton, 0., > and Chairman of the Judges at the Eisteddfod at San Francisco. In, 1915 he conducted the Summer Ses sion of the University of Californ ia. He is oue of the founder mem bers of the American Guild of Or ganists. : For ten years was conductor of the Morning Choral (Ladies) Club of St. Louis and his compositions ."?have been extensively published in the United States and Europe, and have been considered typical somn of the best work done American Composers and frequ ly found on musical programs, piano recitals have been promit among the season's musical att tions, and of these he has pla over seven hundred compositi from memory. He is a member of the Board Examiners of the Progressive nes of Piano Lessons, and the r< ers of the Johnston and Edgef papers will recall my passing 1 year the sixteen quarterly writ examinations of this progressive ries course. These papers were amined by the examiner just scribed. He conducted the si: mer course at Cornell Univers: I was given the opportunity of viewing this course, and after sta ing the personal examination Cornell University by Mr. E. Kroger, he then gave me the norr examination, and I do not regari vanity to be proud of passing this most rigid examination. I so passed on the examination harmony uuder Prof. Ballot, whc organist for one of the leadi churches at Ithaca, N. Y. Prof. James T. Quarles g? some wonderful organ recita There was a grand concert.

There was a grand reception g en the Music Teachers attend i Cornell, and a splendid concert our honor by the Ithaca Conser tory of Music, which was greai appreciated and enjoyed. Th? was the most instructive lectur one by Pres. Thurman, telling 1 experience while in Europe wh war was declared, and the thrillii accounts of the excitement of t people. This lecture he illustr?t! with splendid moving pictures. A other intellectual lecture was 1 one of the Professors, who was Mexico when the present war w declared. He exhibited large map each map showing the changes ea< war had made on the precedii map, and we trust the close of tl present war will soon prove wh the next map will be. We were highly entertained by professional reader, who was equ to a ventriloquist, and a couce greatly appreciated, was one give in honor of those attending Come by the Ithaca Conservatory of Mu ic. Last, but not least, wras a conce: given by the vocal teachers froi many colleges taking the voe; training offered at Cornell. Th ladies, all dressed in white, on tb immense stage presented a lovel picture. The gentlemen in evei ing suits, all with highly culture voices, accompanied with pipe o: gan, piano, and wonderful stringe orchestra, singing the Cornell sou?; and the throng in the audience joii ing in the chorus, made the buile ing ring, all singing The soldier loves his general's farm The willow loves the stream; The child will love his mother's nairn The dreamer loves his dream. The sailor loves his haven pier, The shadow loves the dell; The student holds no name so deai As the good name Cornell. We'll honor thee Cornell, We'll honor thee Cornell; While breezes blow and waters flow We'll honor thee Cornell. The soldier with sword of might, lu blood may write his fame; The prince in marble columns white May deeply carve his name. But graven on each student's heart There shall unsullied dwell; While of this world they are a part The.own good name-Cornell. Johnston, S. C., Sue Sloan. Land For Sale.
