spices of the Spanish government.
There will be, in addition to the sum-
mer school work, many excursions to
the most interesting historical cities
of Spain, and to the battle fields of
France.

party, has recently been decorated by
the king of Spain for his services to

Declares in Interview That Exercises
Can Only Be Held in Closed
Auditorium
SOUND-AMPLIFIERS WOLLD
DESTROY PERSONAL TOUCH
"The very nature of Commencement
exercises makes holding them in the
open with our present facilities un-
wise and impracticable," said Presi-
dent Marion L. Burton in an interview'
yesterday. The statement came after
the President was asked whether he
thought it possible that Commence-
ment exercises this year and possibly
in the future might be held. on Ferry'
field.
, "Of course," he went on, "everyone
knows tliat there are many 9very year
who would like to be present at t1
Commencement exercises who cannot
do so owing to the limited seating ca-
pacity of Hill auditorium. But I do
not believe that moving the ceremo-
nies down to Ferry field would ame-
liorate conditions."
Amplifiers Needed
The plan proposed for holiing the ex-
ercises at Ferry field would necessar-
ily involve the employment of sound
amplifying apparatus, which would
carry the voice of the speaker with
ease to the most remote listener. This
plan, according to . the President,
would be insufficient, in that the per-
sonality of the speaker as displayed
in his carriage and manner while

speaking would be lost in large part
to his audience.
"The vast majority of those who
attend \the Commencement exercises
come to see as well as to hear," he'
said, "and they would not be any more
satisfied with merely , hearing the
ispeaker's voice through an amplifier
than if they should hear it on a phon-
ograph. I believe that a great deal
of the impressiveness of the occasion
would be lost under such conditions.
We might almost as well have the
speech printed and distributed broad-
cast: we have sufficient facilities to
do it with ease."
Weather Also a Factor
There would also be the possibility
of inclement weather, according to the
Pr'esident, In which case the whole
plan would 'hve to be abandoned.
The possibility of housing the crowd
in the various auditoriums on the
campus and connecting these halls up
with the sound amplifier. into which
the speech was being delivered was
dismissed as impracticable.
"It is true," said the President, "that
ceremonies at the time of the burial
of the unknown soldier in Arlington
cemetery were sufficiently solemn and
impressive, but the situation is en-
tirely different. Arlington cemetery
with its hallowed atmosphere is cer-
tainly not to be compared with a foot-
ball field, even Ferry field.
"Of course, no definite action has
been taken, but my personal opinon is
that the idea is not feasible, and would
result in rather general dissatisfac-
tion."

Washington, March 1.-Elimination
of the tax feature of the soldiers'
bonus bill, but under a plan which
would enable former service men to
obtain funds from banks on adjusted
service certificates immediately after
they were issued, is under. considera-
tion by majority members of the house
ways and means committee as a pos-I
sible solution of the bonus problem.,
Would Relieve Treasury
This would make unnecessary any
heavy draft on the national treasury
while the refunding of the $6,500,000,-
000 short rated debt is in progress, and
it was said woul-l remove the funda-
mental cause of the differences in
congress and between the administra-
tion, and congress over the bonus'
question.
The task of working out the plan
was assigned today to a special sub-
committee, which was appointed after
the majority members had failed to
agree on any method of financing cash
payments.
Emphasizing that the suggested
plan was only in the incubation"
stage, Representative Longworth, of
Ohio, a member of the sub-committee,4
said it probably would be ,a week or7
more before the sub-comnitttee hadl
completed its work.i

Works of Boellmann, Russell and
Dubois will compose the twilight or-
gan program to be given by Earl V.
Moore, head of the organ department
of the School of Music, at 4:15 o'clock
this afternoon in Hill auditorium.
Mr. Moore has written a short an-
alysis of the numbers chosen. In con-
nection with Boellmann's ° "Suite
Gothique" he says, "The classic suite
(of the time of Bach and Handel) was
little more than a name for a succes-
sion of a number of dance pieces
which had a common key relationship.
"The modern suite, of which this is
an example, is more pretentious and
more dignified than a collection of
dance tunes, but is less cohesive than
a present day sonata. Boellmann was
a distinguished member of the group
of younger modern French composers.
His career was cut short by an untime-
ly death." Mr. Moore will play the
four movements choral-introduction,
minute Gothique, priere a Notre Dame,
and toccAta.
"Alexander Russell is the organist
of Princeton university. His group
of four pieces, "The St. Lawrence
Sketches," which were written during,
a trip on the St. Lawrence river in
1916, represent his latest contribution'
to the literature of the organ." Two
of these will be played.

"I have no doubt," said Dean Burs-
ley in an interview yesterday, "that
a co-operative rooming plan similar
to the one used at the University of
Wisconsin, would not only save money
for the students who utilize the plan
but would also tend to lower the cost
of other rooms, providing that such a
plan could successfully be worked
out.
"There are, of course, certain obsta-
cles that would have to be overcome,
and which past experience has shown
to be serious. Chief of these," he
pointed out, "is the responsibility of
the group to the lahdlord. Would one
person assume the obligations to the
owner for the whole group, or else
what guarantee would the owner have
of receiving his rent?"
In the purchasing of table supplies
and equipment, Dean Bursley point-
ed out that the proposed co-operative
association would form a valuable
aid. He mentioned that the Harvard
Co-operative association handled sta-
ple food supplies as well as a num-
ber of other commodities.

Advanced students of the-School of
Music gave a short but highly enjoy-
able concert in, the school hall last
night, offering compositions for piano,
voice and violin.
By far the most interesting num-
ber on the program was Max Ewing's
rendition of Liszt's "St. Francis Walk-
ing on the Waves." Ewing is perhaps
the best pianist in the school, playing
with a technical mastery that is rare,
and a sympathetic understanding and
musicianly expression that mark him
as a genius.
Another attractive, feature of the
program was Normand Lockwbod's
performance of three of his own com-
positions - "Improvisation,"., "Valse.
Prelude," and "Cappriccio," all show-
ing considerable musical talent.
The second and third movements of
Mozart's A major violin concerto were
offered by Josephine Connable. Ruth
Howell played three Chopin 'mazur-
kas, and Amanda Weisenreder sang
Brahms' "We' Walked One Day." The
playing of Minnie Huber, who gave
two Liszt numbers, showed a decided
improvement over her previous efforts.
PARKS WILL PLAY
ON TOLEDO TEAM
(By Associated Press)
Toledo, March 1.--Pitcher Vernon
"Slicker" Parks, former pitching ace
of the University of Michigan, today
became a member of the Toledo club
of the American association, accord-
ing to announcement by Roger Bres-
nahan. Parks was with Portland of
the Pacific coast league last season,
having been sent there by the De-]
troit American league glub. ,
The acquisition of Parks is due to a
trade Bresnahan made with the Detroit
club last season in 'Which pitcher

Jeanne d'Arc," Mr. Moore says, "It is
not often that program music makes
use of so commonplace a design' as
a march, but by the quality of the
themes rather than by a defnite story
is the heroic character of Joan of
Arc portrayed."

Play D yFaculty
Despite a tightly woven shroud of
secrecy that has completely enveloped
all details, it was learned yesterday
that a faculty play is to be given Sat-
urday night.
Dr. Frank E. Robbins, assistant to
the President, is the author. When in-
terviewed regarding the 'play, Mr.
Robbins placed his finger over his
lips and mysteriously iurmured, "A
Deep Secret."
The play has, been arranged and
will be played by the faculty. Only
faculty members and their families,
will be' permitted to attend the pre-
sentation on Saturday night.
The shroud remains but the secret
has leaked out.

baskets and four foul shots and Sig-
ma Chi threw five field baskets and six
foul shots.

Sigma Chi and Dunleavy was the best
man on the Sigma 'Alpha Epsilon
