White were pioneers in the narrow and conventional sense, since the founding of Cornell University was replete with educational innovations; but they were very much more than that," he concluded. "They were in reality super-pioneers. By building in- to the life of this University the prin- ciple of personal liberty and freedom of the intellectual life, by removing barriers and opening doors, they created the conditions under which pioneering at Cornell could go on for- ever. Their pioneering was self-perpe- tuating. The free life of a great univer- sity is a constant challenge to the tea- ' cher to broaden the vision and deepen the understanding of his students; it is a challenge to the scholar to extend the frontiers of human knowledge. And Cornell and White, by the com- posite net result of all their pioneering, made the life of Cornell University a free life. "The unique heritage which Cor- nell University received from its Foun- ders carries with it an obligation which we cannot escape or evade. That ob- ligation is two-fold.

Cornell scored all of its goals in the first period on tallies by Joe McKinney '50, Captain Charlie Berman '49, and Deri Derr '51. Harvard scored twice in the sec- ond period, both on penalty kicks re- sulting from rather technical decisions on the part of the referee, and tied the count in the third quarter. The last stanza and a five-minute overtime period failed to produce any further scoring. The Varsity's little brothers made it two straight as the Frosh defeated Maniius, 3-1, in Ithaca, the same day. Ronnie Gebhardt of Clinton, N. J., counted twice and Jack Ogden of Forest Hills scored once. The Varsity booters won their first League contest October 16, white- washing Princeton, 5-0, at Princeton. Cornell was the aggressor all the way, having twenty shots at the Tiger goalie while the Big Red defenders permitted only four plays to get by them to the Cornell goal tender, all of them in the first half and all un- successful.
