Jewish Young Man
Wins Coveted Honor

INSTERWALD

Joseph S. Burak Chosen by Classmates as Class
Orator at Commencement Exercises.

Occupying a prominent position
on the program for the Commence-
ment Exercises of the Detroit Col-
lege of Law, held last Thursday
evening at Arcadia Hall, was Jos-
eph S. Ilurak, class orator. The
position of class orator, election to
which is based upon scholarship,
oratorical skill and general popu-
larity, is one of the highest honors
possible in college, and it is the fond
dream of every undergraduate that
he will some day attain it.
Burak has the further distinction of
being the first Jewish student in the
history of the institution to be
elected to the class oratorship.
In the course of his oration, en-
titled "The Rubicon," .\ Burak
said:
"We are living in a time when
many things and great things are
being done with startling rapidity.
th e
\Ve li ve i n an age w h en all
world is torn and ripped asunder.
\Ve are part of an unparalleled
period of history. In these times,
when our nation and humanity and
mankind calls upon us, there is but
one answer to the query, 'What
shall be our goal?'
"\Ve are to be lawyers. We are
to become members of that pro-
fession which for these many cen-
turies has aimed at adjUAing the
difficulties of man and man with
justice and equity—with righteous-
ness and fairness.
"So our profession demands at
these times that we may strive to
bring order out of these chaotic
conditions. Our profession com-
mands us to devote ourselves to the

building of those institutions of
men which make for happiness and
civilization.
"I khind us lies Gaul. We arc
about to cross the Rubicon. Ahead
is Rome. These are the times when
men who will serve, when men who

will dare are needed.. These are
the days when a world empire, a
glorious empire of brotherhood and
peace, is to be built, when we must
and can and shall be its builders.
These are the days when our na-
tion,—when humanity calls in tones
of fervent, anguished prayer—for
men. These are the days when un-
born posterity cries out for our and
its salvation—`God give us men.'

The same love of justice and devo-
tion to an ideal which are attributes
of her noted father also characterize
Miss Susan Brandeis, daughter of the
Supreme Court Justice. Miss Bran-

League.

The Governor of Oryol has rep-
rimanded the chief of police of
Priansk for creating a pogrom
panic in the town by means of an
official accusation that the Jews
were responsible for the high
prices of food. The Liberal or-
gans demand that the government
should categorically prohibit all
such maneuvers of anti-Semitic
officials.
