"The Evolution of the Elements." more than the available income. There was only one elastic item on the income side of the budget and that was the Alumni Fund. President Farrand pointed out that while it is possible to carry a deficit for one or two years it is not good business for a university to continue budgeting a deficit indefinitely. It is possible that the current year will close with a deficit of $25,000 or $30,000 unless the gifts to the Alumni Fund come up to the amount estimated in the budget which was made up a year ago. Gannett gave a summary of the work which had been done by the Cornellian Council this year. He paid a tribute to Robert E. Treman '09 and the members of the War Memorial Committee for the fine work they had done in building up that fund. He spoke highly of the work which Neal D. Becker '05, chairman of the Com- mittee on Bequests had done in stimulat- ing gifts by bequest to Cornell. He also commented the work which the Commit- tee on the Sweet Memorial has done. He stated that only $13,000 still needed to complete this fund and thereby gain the anonymous gift of $50,000 promised when the fund reaches $150,000. Gannett also reported that the interclass letter campaign was coming along satisfactorily. The class representatives on the Cor- nellian Council have shown enthusiasm in this effort and a competitive spirit has been injected in this campaign. The following were present at the COMMANDER BYRD VISITS ITHACA Photo by Tr*y Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd on his recent visit to Cornell in the interest of the WarMemorial luncheon: President Farrand, Dr. Louis L. took occasion to visit Sage Chapel and placed a wreath on the tablet dedicated by Admiral Peary to Seaman '72, Merritt E.
