Cornell University,

Ithaca, New York.

May 22nd, 1888.

I take pleasure in certifying that Mr. Joseph R. Chamberlain entered this University in the Fall 1885, and that his course here has been such in every respect as to secure for him the approval and respect of his instructors and fellow-students.

The head of our Agricultural Department speaks of his ability, practical and scientific, in very high terms, and I have no hesitation in recommending him for the position at Lincoln for which, as I understand , he is a candidate.
