Frederick Schoellkopf, Jr. '05 reported at the annual meeting of the Cornell Alumni Corporation in Ithaca, June 18, upon the completion of their five-year terms. Their reports are reprinted herewith:

The fifth member of the Board of Athletic Policy was the Director of Athletics, to be selected by the other four members. The selection was James Lynah, who thereupon became Director of Athletics and a member of the University Faculty, and who has rendered distinguished service to the University. The alumni are familiar with the results ac- complished by this new organization. Not only have our teams, especially our football team, been as a whole successful, but we are no longer incurring the continual deficits which for a number of years required the University to lend money'to the Athletic Association.
