Dr. Schurman has been nt the head of Cornell since 1892. lie once received a letter written In no languuge ,with which he was fa miliar. “Send It to Professor Schmlt for translation,” he said to his secretary. “I believe it Is Persian.” Schmlt worked over it for hours be fore he located the characters. They were Arabic beyond a doubt, but he was not quite sure whether of the thirtieth century B. C. or the third A. D. "I will send it to Oxford for investi gation,” he reported. The office stenographer, a woman, was curious. “Let me see the funny thing,” she begged. It was handed to her, and a moment later she began to laugh. “It’s in shorthand,” she cried, “Perkins’ system!” She translated the last line thus: “Excuse my writing to you In this abbreviated manner, but I’ve got to catch a train.” President Schurman hopes that he caught the train, but Professor Schmit will never forgive the hasty correspondent.

It was hooked In the side of the mouth, while upon the other side a piece more than an Inch long had been torn from the Jaw, and the wound was still bleeding.
