Sept. 9.—Deans, professors and scientists of Cornell University united to-day to tributes to Ross Gilmore Marvin, the Cornell instructor who was drowned while accompanying the Peary expedition to the north pole. Marvin took his A. B. degree from Cornell in 1905 and after studying meteorology for a couple of years was an instructor to the college of civil engineering. He was on leave of absence while making the trip with Peary. Among those who eulogized him were Deans Haskell. Smith and Irvine and Prof. Comstock. . . . . WILKSBARRY, Pa., Sept 9.--A message was received here to-day from com- mander Peary announcing the death of Prof. Ross Gilmore Marvin. It came to W. N. Colgrove, manager of the Adams Express Company and a brother- in-law of Marvin. Colgrove married Marvin's sister, and Marving spent some time in this city before the expedition sailed. At that time his sister tried to persuade him not to go, as she had a premonition that he would not return. When Mrs. Colgrove got new of her bother's death she started at once for Elmira to be with her mother and sisters.
