Cole that the class wished to give not only a verbal but a tangible ex- pression of their appreciation for the privilege of being a Cor- nellian. A gift of $800 minimum would be sent to the college by October of this year from pledges by class members. Mr. Bargelt preceded Dr. Cole's remarks with an allusion to Christo- pher Wren and the quotation in the famous Abbey: "If you want to see nay memorial look around you." "Just so," said the toastmas- ter, "if you want to get the measure of your present presi- dent of Cornell go out axed look about you on this campus." Dr. Cole commended the current graduating class. Among t h e ir achievements cited was that in scholarship. This year the faculty instituted an honors system, and, al- though the present seniors had not had that as a four year goal, about 10 per cent of the class met the standard and were honored at corn- mencement Monday.
