FINAL WORD. 



We have now gone somewhat in detail through the 

 description of the University, deeming that such a 

 description of the great State University of the Empire 

 State might be both interesting and valuable. There 

 is more left unsaid than has been said, but that was 

 inevitable. We have not dee-med it wise to enter upon 

 any description of the workings of the University, or 

 any discussion of its methods. Persons desiring such 

 information are referred to the University Register, 

 which is sent free to anyone on application. 



Founded so wisely and so nobly, guided through the 

 perils of its early days by so wise a hand, Cornell seems 

 to-day to be entering upon a period of steady prosperity 

 and internal development. Since the inauguration of 

 President Adams many beneficial changes have been 

 made and the promises for the future are all bright. As 

 the sun lights her Campus by day, and the electric 

 arcs shed their brilliant rays over her paths by night, 

 so Cornell University stands in the realm of knowledge, 

 adding to the light, and scattering the darkness.
