The Cornellian Council The President of the Cornellian Council for the current year is Jervis Langdon, '97, of Elmira, New York. Mr. Langdon has been actively interested in Cornell since he entered in 1893. While in college, he was editor-in-chief of The Cornellian, a speaker on the '86 Memorial Prize Stage, chairman of the Class Day Committee, and a member of Kappa Alpha. He was a member of the Semi-Centennial Endow- ment Committee in Elmira in 1919 and 1910, has been the representative of his class on the Cornellian Council for five years, a member of the Council's Executive Committee for five years, and for the past two years he has been president of the Cornell Alumni Association in Elmira. His son, Jervis Langdon,Jr., '17, was editor of The Camel! Daibf Sim last year. Mr. Langdon is a member of the firm of J. Langdon and Company of Elmira and of the Chemung Coal Company, and a direc- tor of the Thatcher Manufacturing Compa- ny and the Shamokin Company. He belongs IJERVIS LANGDON7 '97 CO the Zlfld. Country of Elmira, and University and Cornell Clubs of New York. He is a nephew of Samuel L. Clemens CMark Twainb and a brother-in-law of E. E. Loomis, president of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. Prericient Mr. Langdon is giving generously of his time and his resources toward promoting the success of the Cornellian Council. He is an ardent Cornellian, and the service he is rendering Cornell is typical of the devotion which many other successful Cornellians are showing for our Alma Mater. The class of 1918 is identified with three of Cornell's most significant anniversaries. The University is celebrating its sixtieth birthday this year, it is the rooth anniversary of Ezra Cornell's arrival in Ithaca, and the Cornellian Council will have given twenty years of loyal service by the time the members of the Class of 1918 join the ranks of the alumni. The Cornellian Council, founded in 1908, is the alumni organization which has for its purpose the stimulation of alumni interest in the financial support of the Univer- sity. The founders of the Council had in mind the idea of doing away with indiscrimi- nate and spasmodic solicitation of the Alumni and of having all appeals for the University's needs made by one organization vested with authority. The wisdom of this plan is now acknowledged by the faculty, trustees, and alumni, and the soundness of the plan has been shown in other universities as well as Cornell. As a mark of success of the Cornellian Council, it may be said that no other university exceeds Cornell in the amount of money furnished annually by its alumni, with the exception of Yale whose organization is some fifteen years older than Cornell's. 18
