I recall very clearly the occasion. It came with the solemnity of a formal accusation, upon the floor of the Legislature, from the lips of one of its members, and charged upon Ezra Cornell that his land enterprise was a gigantic fraud upon the State, planned and in- tended to win for him an enormous fortune and to plun- der the Institution he had founded. Let us be just. He who made the charge doubtless believed its truth, and deemed that he was but doing his sworn duty. Yet at the time all of ...us flamed into anger and indignation. We gathered about the Founder with hot cheeks and eyes in a blaze and words stinging with rage and exasperation. His was the only quiet voice of all. 1 heard him say that what we so bitterly resented and roundly execrated was not at all an evil fortune but rather the reverse; and then he calmly explained, that the secret suspicion of a wrong and wicked purpose had long been mining beneath the surface and was difficult to discover and refute, but when it came open- ly to the light and found a man bold enough to declare it and be its champion the danger was ended, for it funished an opportunity, by a formal investigation which he should at once demand, to turn the light on every step of his progress and convince the most doubt- ful of the simple truth.
