Jan. 11 -(CP) - Lcaguc-leading Halifax Atlantics downed Charlottetown Islanders 6-2 Saturday in a Maritime Major Hockey League game which-saw little of the fire the two teams have shown in recent clashes on llalifax ice. After Billy Goold's tally, only one in the opening frame, Atlantics roasted along to add two more in the second and three in the third. Charlottetowifs markers came from Chuck Holdaway, who com- bined with Lyle Wiseman Tommy Powers midway in the sec- ond period, and Buck Whitlock on A team play with Gary Gordon and Larry Travis 40 seconds before the and of the game. ..'There passed peacefully away at the King's County Hospital Sat- urday evening, Roderick McLclla.n of St. Georges in his 87th year.

Motor traffic was practically at a. standstill in the foreman with many who ventur- Id out quickly returning home af- ter a risky trip on the slippery roads. Cars were reported in the diivh. but damage was not heavy. Motorists were proceeding llt I slow rate of speed. No accidents had been reported to the Alberlon Detachment. of the R. C. M. P.

Under the chairmanship of Dr 71. Cl. Lea, the School Board will investigate fully and report back to the City'Council, giving details-as the proposed curriculum im- movement. the coat of the NOD06- "1 nevi high school building and rliiibmont and other necessary dc- ll 5. The Board will also wait on the Provincial Government with a view ii? ting co-operation and as- -isienoo through the Department 0! Education or other govern- mrntr.l departments, as the case may be, and in TUESDAY Mr. R. G. White, Deputy Minist- er of Public Works and Highways is scheduled to leave shortly for Holland where he will investigate the building and maintenance of dikes and causeways. The decision was reached to have Mr. White make the trip after he had coli- ferred with experts from Holland who are working on the dikes of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in connection with the reclamation of marshland areas. Sufficient information was avail- able from these experts to lead to the belief that much valuable data could be obtained from on the spot engineers in Holland that wouldbe worth knowing in connection with the Trans-Canada. Highway de- velopment in this Province during the coming summer. Mrs. White will accompany the Deputy Minister who will probably visit Scotland and England after completing his study on the Con- tinent. Llewellyn Harris, 21. was found dead yesterday morning in a gar- age at his home at Knulsford. near O'Leary. Apparently he had pass- ed away the previous evening. Coroner Dr. W. A. Shea of Al- berton ordered an inquest and af- ter a jury had viewed the body the hearing was adjourned until '1 pm. on January 19. It will bc held at the Town Hall at 0'Leary. Harris, son of Mr. and Mrs Harry Harris. was said to have planned to take the car to church Sunday evening. He was found beside the vehicle in the garage and apparently had not left the premises. The fact he had not re- turned to the house was not I10- ticed until Monday morning. One hundred and twenty tickets were placed on cars between 1 a.m. and 6 am. yesterday morning by City Police for violation of the over-night parking regulations, the Guardian was informed. Over-night parking is only per. mitted. it was learned, in design- ated parking areas. The majority of these sections are in the metert ed area but there are others where the curb has been cut away and asphalt laid to permit angle park- g. The fine for over-night parking is one, dollar and the 120 tickets is reported to represent the larg- est number of parking tickets plac- ed oil cars in one night since the drive to overcome the practice was made by City Police late last fall. The firm of M. F. Schurman Co. Ltd., Summerside, having submit- ted the low bid on the new Feder- al building at Kensingion will, it is understood. be awarded the contract for its construction shortly. The amount of the con- tract is approximately 3129.350. The new federal building will be at the main intersection in Ken- sington, at the branch of the high- way leading to Summerside and Charlottetown. The building will be of two story construction, of brick and mortar, with steel frame and will be odiby 49 feet. A one-story garage will be con- structed at the rear. The Post Of- fice Department will occupy the entire ground floor while the sec- ond floor will be taken up by the R. C. M. P. and the Federal De- partment of Agriculture. skating, shooting and checking in their swashbuckling form of old the Charlottetown Islanders last night unleashed a torrid assault to defeat the Halifax Aiantlcsld-2 in a wild rugged hockey game at the Forum that lasted more than three hours. For two solid periods the Island- ers put on an offensive display that kept the fans on the edge of their seals and the Halifax team in a state of confusion as they raced into a 4-2 lead. The lead might well have been 8-2 and would have been but for brilliant work on the part of Roy MacMee- kin. The Islanders came back to score two more in a third period that featured practically every- thing along with some hockey. During the mix-up Islanders coach Mlurph Chamberlain was ordered from the rink and Halifax playing coach Dugger McNeil was given a misconduct penalty. WEDNESDAY Mr. P. W. Turner left this morning for Chicago to attend a meeting of the Board of Directons of Rotary International. of which he is a member, representing Can- ada. The Board at this time will deal with Rotary policy on a world- wide basis and other subjects which are recurrent or developing in'the interest of the organization. The possibility of erecting a building in which to house the head office staff of Rotary will be dealt with, and indications point to the same being located at Evanston Ills.. 30 miles from Chicago. The cost of the new building is estimated at a million dollars. Lois Marshall. Canada's bril- liant young soprano who has re- cently taken New York music crit- ics by storm, is to sing in Char- lottetown on Tuesday, January 27th at the Prince of Wales Col- lege Auditorium. Miss Marshall delighted local music lovers who heard her 1951 concert here. and this will be her last appearance before she joins a large American concert organization. Miss Marshall's New York debut in Town Hall on December 2 was acclaimed as a brilliant perform- ance"and she has now become one of America's top artists. she was the winner of the singing Stars Award in 1950, of the celebrated Naumburg award in 1052, and of countless other competitions. she has given recitals from coast to coast and she has apiltlmd 1'"!- qucntiy with the CBC and with many symphony orchestras. As sir Ernest MacMi1ian has said. "she is great in the real sense of the word." ' "There will be no revision of potato 'prices until after the Jan- uary storage holdings in.tho Un- ited States becomes known next MOIIGBY." laid Mr. Donald A. MacDonald. manager of the P. E. Island Potato Marketing Board last evening, when questioned re- garding an unofficial report that the Board was planning to revise minimum prices. Tile market continues dull. Mr. MacDonald said, but the move- ment of potatoes from the Pro- vince during the past week has been good because a large. boat- load of seed was assembled at Saint John, N. B. for shipment to the southern United States. may Walter Fall, of this city, will appear in Supreme Court to- day under an indictment charging possession of stolen goods. The in- dictment was returned yesterday afternoon by the Grand Jury called for the January term of the Queen's County Assizes. There were two other indictments returned against John Carl Fall aild Cari Prowse. In each case the Queen is the appellant. All charges arise out of possession of stolen goods. An abandonment was filled in open court and the appeal dis- missed in the case of The Queen versus Owen Dougheltty. Two civil cases were on the docket: they were John R. Skinner, plaintiff. versus G. Albert Darrah, defend- ant, arising out of a claim for damages from collision. In this lil- stance Mr. G. R. Foster is coun- sel for the plaintiff while Mr. W. E. Bentley, Q.C., represents the defendant. In the other civil suit the Cameo Dress Company, plaintiff, repre- sentedsented by Mr. L. P. O'Don- nell, is opposed to Kennedy's Lad- ies Wear, defendant, represented, by Mr. A. J. llaslam. i I Mr. Henry Desftoches, Russell Street, Summerside. had a most unpleasant experience yesterday afternoon. When returning home across the Summerside harbor ice he plunged into the icy water about seventy-five yards from shore. The ice at this point is usually very thin and had the tide been high at the time the consequences might have been different. Mr. DesRoches, who is about 85 years of age, was coming in from his smelt shanty when the acci- dent occurred and he was unable to get back on solid iceunassisted He was forced to remain there for some time before his calls for help attracted the attention of Mr Howard Waite, who rushed to his assistance and after getting him out put him in a taxi and brought him home. Last night he was reported to be suffering no ill effects and his many friends hope that he will not suffer iii any way from his harrow- ing experience:--S. THURSDAY Prospccis of relieving the imi- iic congestion on the Wood is- lands-Caribou service this sum- mcr are now in sight, following the decision of the operating company. Norihumberiand Ferries Limited, to provide another boat. which has been purchased and can he made available at com- pziruliveiy small cost. It is pro- posed to run this boat in addition to the "Prince Nova" and the "Dunniniz" which have rendered such valuable transportation ser- vice during the past ten years. Today marks the 30th annivers- ary of the coldest day ever record- ed in this Province. according to figures compiled by Mr. Warren Burns of the Meteorological office at the Experimental Farm. In the release of statistics made available yesterday dealing with the Depart- ment records over a period of forty three years, the all-time low was given as on January 15th, 1923. when the thermometer registered 23 below zero. The highest was on August 19th, 1935 when the mercury soared to 98 degrees. 8 Mr. Keith Kennedy who started in a modest way last summer to develop all up-to-datc egg business with a premium product, candied aild handled under his own super- vision. is meeting with marked suc- cess in his venture. Mr. Kennedy says that no dif- ficulty is experienced in getting top price and even a premium for eggs of the grade which he is marketing in the face of keen competition from commercial producers in Nova Scotia. He hopes to be in a position shortly to supply local hatcherles or breeders with the necessary hatching eggs to improve their egg production and advance the indus- try generally. Mrs. T. W. L. Prowse, wife of His Honour Lieutenant Governor Prowse, was "at home" yesterday afternoon. and large numbers nt- tended the delightful reception at Government House. Mrs. Prowse, whose charmlng manner makes of any social func tion at Government House a. pleas- antly relaxed occasion long to be remembered, received her guests ml a becoming gown of loganbcrryi crepe. Receiving with her was tiic.'

Clark, D.Sc. Cornell University is 1oca'ted on high land just east of the town of Ithaca. which lies at the southern end of Lake Cayuga. very near the centre of New York State. It was opened in 1868 as a. co-educational college and on a thoroughly un- sectarian basis. The founder Ezra Cornell said: "I will found here an institution where any student may receive instruction in any subject." The campus, believed by many to be one of the most beau'tiiul any- where, overlooks Lake Cayuga and the town of Ithaca. When the writ- er was a student there in 1901-1903 the campus was bounded on the north by Beebe Lake and the Fall Creek Gorge. In this deep,ravine there are very beautiful falls that tumble in a cascade over many-tiers of receding rock formations just behind Sidley (engineering) Col- lege; on the east, by the New York State Agricultural College Experi- ment Station; on the south, by the Cascadilla. Gorge, whose stream is almost a continous series of rapids across that end of the quadrangle: and on the west by a steep slope to the town of Ithaca, that lies in the valley hundreds of feet lower. 0 O O The founder, who came in his youth from Massachusetts with his Quaker parents to New York state. taught school. made pottery, was a carpenter and mechanic in Ithaca. where he had charge of a flour mill. He became interested in telegraphy and after experimenting with dif- ferent ways of establishing tele- graph lines, finally supported the first line ever attached to poles. He was so succesful that he became. one of the founders of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and in that and other enterprises he ac- quired wealth, and retired in Ithaca in 1858. Following the pasing of the Mor- rill Land Grand Act. for the estab- lishment of agricultural and en- gineering colleges. by the United states Government in 1861, which assigned 990,000 acres of land to the State of New York. and learning that the Morriil forbade using the proceeds from this grant for the purchase. erection of mainten- ance of any buildings, he gave to Cornell five million dollars toward- buiiding expenses, and bought up) 819,920 acres of the land grant to found a separate endowment fund to which the Morrili Land Grant? Act did not apply. 0 C C I When Ezra Cornell spoke at the, inaugural ceremonies, on October: 7th, 1868. Merrill Hall was the only university building completed, He said: "We have not invited you to see a university finished, but to see one begun." He expounded the Corliell idea that: ”Tllc individual is better. society is better, and the State is better for the culture of its citizens: therefore we desire to ex- tend the means for the culture of all." Andrew D. White was a friend and councillor of Ezra Cornell, and was associated with him in the founding of Cornell University. He was Corneills first president. 1865 - 1885. and a. member of its governing board for fifty years. He was also an outstanding teacher in modern history. Cornell drew many great men to her faculty in the early years: Isaac P. Roberts. one of the founders of a.gricu1't-urai education in North America; Robert H, Thurs- ton, pioneer in mechanical engine- ering; Dr. James Ewlng in medl- clne; Edward L. Nichold in physics; Charles Babcock in architecture: Liberty Hyde Bailey in horticulture aild Hiram Corson, professor of English language and literature. He continued to be a most popular teacher, and in 1903. it was always a pleasure to attend his class on Shakespeare. He could always axis- wera question. Perhaps the fellow- ing story will iii-ustra't.e his attitude toward life. It is told that when the enormous tin roof blew off Cascadll- la Place, (a student and staff apart- ment house) in a gale, and landed on Dr. Corson's home. his wife wakened him by saying: "Hiram. Hiram, the end of the world has come!” His reply. without any ex- citement was: "And in the night too?" O C 0 These great leaders have been followed by ma.'iiy others since. and among them our own Dr. Jacob Gould Schurrrian, who became President of Cornell in 1892. The writer recalls an incident just after Dr. Schurmari had been honoured by the University of Edinburgh. He spoke to thousands of students in the Arlnories: the next morning, walking up the hill behind two senior students, he heard one say: "Did you hear 'Prcxy' last. iilp:lit?" The answer was: "No, his crown was too loud." (it was the Edinbirrgll crimson). Cornell combines freedom in education with insistence upon strik- ing a balance lietween the study of sciences and the humanities. She CORNELL UNIVERSITY. -pioneered in teaching each student. to learn to live a balanced life. Her NOTES professors built the first dynamo that was used to light the first street in America, on the Cornell campus. Cornell has many ”firsts." She had the first American Col- lege of Forestry; the first full- fledged department of electrical engineering; and was among the first in the application of chemistry to agriculture and commerce. Among her more recently developed equipment is the micro-wave tele- scope for surveying the heavens and measuring radiation from the sun, stars and interstellar space. In the nuclear studies laboratory, re- cently completed, there is a million electron volt synchrotron. . . . Ill 1901, Cornell had a staff of some 300 teachers and instructors, and 3000 students; by 1910 there was a staff of 636, and 5,194 students, with a library of 333,700 volumes. A medical college was est- ablished in New York City 1898, and a graduate department was organized into a graduate school in 1909. In 1910, Cornell had endow- mcnts of iline million. and iler total ilicoine was 31,657,000. President, Deana W, Malott, in his 1951-52 report states: that there were on the staff, above the rank of instructors. 1400 professors and assistant pro- fessors: there were 10,440 students enrolled from 48 states 5 territories and 69 other couiltrix, including 83 men and 3 women from Canada. This enrollment was down !i.6'7n from the 1947-48 peak of 10,840 students, The general enrollment has shown little change in the last five years but engineering students have dropped from 2643 (1947-48) to 1722 (1951-52) a decrease of 3568. Cornell last year received in gift: almost S6.300,000. Her total income for the year exclusive of gifts was 531.660.271.78 and the total ex- penditures was 531.586.547.97. At the end of the year, the total net holding in the library was 1.559.614. The writer returned to Cornell for graduate work in 1903 and for a. visit in 1946. The University Campus now extends east: to Forest Home, and occupies most of the former Experimental Station farm land. To the west many'magn1- ficent Student Residences and Fraternities extend well down the hill towards the City of Ithaca.

Small furs will again be important for the coming year and he is strongly in the belief that capes and jackeis to go with slim skirts will be popular. Fitz Payner, another New York furrier, believes the greatcoat has excellent possibilities because it can be smart, because women feel more comfortable in a full coat and be- cause 'lll9,V tan wear it over more types of clothes including both slim and full skirts, Small furs were active sellers the past season and he believes their future is excellent.

The strength of the! females was attributed to the de-I mand by scarf and choker men who, appeared to be wfiling to buy around the 310 mark. Females hit an unofficial top of S12 with the favorite price range from s9.50 to 310.50. Males on the other hand ranged to 821.50 top with the bulk bringing 315, to 318. The sales room was inclined to interpret the easier prices for males as the continuation of levelling off prices for average ranch mink. At St. Louis the F. C, Taylor Fur Company reports mink prices were easier and raccoons were stronger at their auction last week. Prices for muskrat remained unchanged al- though there was a stronger de- mand for them than the previous week. Canadian interests bought 50 per cent of the muskrats, 25 per cent of the mink and 10 per cent of the raccoons: 12.200 muskrats were sold. extra. and large at 31.71 to 31.74 mediums.
