 1 surrounding hills at the head of Cayuga Lake. This 
 lake is 378 feet above sea level. Ithaca is prettily laid 
 out, has a resident population of 13.136 and is a pros- 
 perous community in every way.

 1 university extends to the " town " here, the best 
 of feeling existing between the student body and the

 1 1904, and the desire of Ezra Cornell to found " an 
 institution where any person can find instruction in 
 any study" is last being accomplished.

 of athletics. About fifty acres of its grounds are 
 devoted to athletic field and play ground. The advan- 
 tages of the lake have been such that Cornell has be- 
 come renowned for its aquatic supremacy.

 versity is perhaps unmatched for beauty, and the 
 rr^rov. are ?rand and wild enough to be 
 
 falls and gorges are 
 picturesque
