CORNELL'S NEW PRESIDENT

A university president must be a man of a rare and manifold genius, and in return for his talent he is awarded a prestige such as few men can claim. He wields a great influence, not only over the affairs of the day, but especially over those of the future, for the education of the leaders of the coming generation is under is guidance. The fact that American university presidents have always been men of surpassing worth is not the least important factor in the country's progress. Cornell will be more than living up to this tradition when she inaugurates Dr. Livingston Farrand as her fourth president tomorrow. We congratulate Dr. Ferrand and congratulate Cornell.
