KELLEY.Providence, May 30, 1906.NEW YORK ALPHA, CORNELL UNIVERSITY.The close of the spring term finds Cornell ina most prosperous condition.Work on the new Goldwin Smith Hall of Arts and Sciences and on the newRockfelter Hall of Physics is about finished. The Goldwin Smith Hallcompletes the quadrangle and adds very much to the majestic beauty of thecampus. Work on the new athletic field has for the time being stopped,owing to a lack of funds, but as soon as the alumni come forward with thefunds it will be pushed rapidly forward.In athletics Cornell has had consistent success FO far this spring. Thebaseball team has lost but two college games, both to Princeton. Theyhave won from Amherst, Dartmouth, Lafayette, Pennsylvania State, twicefrom Columbia and once from University of Pennsylvania. If they canplay their present style of ball till the close of the season, Cornell will finishwell toward the top in the inter-collegiate rating. Much interest is shownin the inter-fraternity baseball league. 4» A G has won all five games shehas played.Track prospects, at the beginning of the season very discouraging aresteadily getting brighter as the time for the inter-collegiate draws nearer.Cornell had rather an easy time defeating Princtou in their annual dualmeet, winning liy a score of 78^ to 37^+.The varsity crew seems to be followed by hard luck but they are rowingin fine form and good results are expected of them at Poughkeepsie. OnMay 25, the varsity meets Plarvard on the two-mile course on the Charlesriver. On Decoration Day the second crew will meet Pennsylvania's secondcrew on Cayuga lake. These two races form a very interesting programmeprior to the main event on the Hudson.
