The speaker was introduced by President Marion L. Burton, and pre- faced his written address by intro- ductory remarks. The speaker noted how through the ages, people had reached the opinion that "All's right with the world." This was especially true of the opinion during and fol- lowing the great war, the speaker declared, and added that the feeling was that the "oppression of the lab- orer is past. The oppression of back- -ward races and of little nations is past. The wicked devices of secret diplomacy with its secret covenants secretly arrived at-all that is past. The age of Gold has come. We have found Paradise," Dr. Bryan declared. Life's struggle was painted to the University graduates, and Dr. Bryan urged the seniors to "go down with the Son of Man into the thick of the struggling multitude," urging from them the necessity, and beauty of ser- vice. He declared, "You belong with them. You are of one blood and like passions with them. You must march in the dread pageant which goes to Golgotha, it may be to hang between thieves, and it may be to find victory, when you can say to one of them- 'Brother, this day, together, we enter Paradise.',, Dr. Bryan is one of the most noted educators in the country, a trustee of the Carnegie institute and mem- ber of scholarly organizations. Edu- cated in Clark University, and sev- eral European institutions, he is a recognized figure in the educational world. Members of the faculty were seated on the stage, and Palmer Christian of the School of Music played the organ.

ALUMNI NAME NEW OFFICERS FOR YEARI Diplomas MORE THAN I 58OO RECEIVE DIPLOMAS AT COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES ON FERRY FIELD GLENN FRANK DELIVERS ADDRESS BEFORE LARGE CROWD IN STADIUM Despite the rain that threatened to fall, Michigan's eightieth annual conmencement was held in Ferry Field as it was intended, and the larg- est class of the University received their diplomas from the hands of Presi- dent Marion L. Burton at the stand erected in the gridiron this morning. More than 1800 young men and women were graduated this morning, and are now of the vast body of Michigan Alumni. Class by class, they took their places in the South bleachers of historic Ferry Field, and class by class they marched upon the platform to receive their various degrees from the University. The impressive and dignified pro cession that attends all conmnence- ments preceded the Commencement proper. With all the pageantry and pomp of the Middle Ages the long lines of graduates and faculty members collected on the walks of the campus, and the bright colors of the hoods, the gowns from foreign universities, the sombre black of the graduate's gown, the flying colors, the strains of the band, all led solemn grandeur to the procession. Moving out past Alumni Memorial Hall, and down the hill to Ferry Field, the graduates, the faculty and lastly the distinguished guests, wound their way to the Field.

College Honors Harding's Widow Gambier, Ohio, June 15.-The de- gree of doctor of laws, conferred upon the late President Harding but never actually received by the president, was today conferred upon his widow as a part of the program in the ob- servance of the centennial of Kenyon college here. In the presence of noted educators and alumni from many places President William F. Peirce of Kenyon college criticized in his bacca- laureate sermon the tendency toward "softness" in educational curricu- lums, DENTA L SENIORS GO TO SOUTH AFRICA Nine To Help Relieve Dearth Of Dentists In British Colonies RORICH, '24D, HEADS LIST RETURNING TO PRACTICE Michigan will supply the dearth of dentists in the British colonies. Nine students from South Africa are in- cluded in the 1924 graduating class of the dental college. Immediately fol- lowing their graduation they will leave for various points in South Africa, to establish practices. Sent to America on scholarships, these young men have attended uni- versities for five years , or more in order to provide South Africa with experts in a science in which Ameri- ca has taken a leading role. They were selected in their native country because of outstanding personalities and scholastic ability. Their work at Michigan, according to instructors in the dental school, has justified the ex- pense the government has incurred in sending them here. Had No Vacations Vacations have never existed for these men. The several thousand miles which separated them from their homes made it impossible for them to return, and with the exception' of a few who have made one trip back, all have been in Ann Arbor for the entire five years. Johann Rorich, whose home is in Kroonstad, South Africa, has been the outstanding example of the reward to an industrious student. Rorich has worked his way entirely through Mich- igan and at the same time has gained popularity as a singer and athlete. Captain of the Michigan tennis team for two years, Rorich has proved in competition that he is one of the best tennis players in the middle west. His work this year has aided Michi- gan in her conquest for conference honors. His absence from the confer- ence tournament at Chicago in May was felt by his teammates, Brick and Hodgeman, who lost out in the pre- liminaries. Chinese, Japanese, India, and Dutch are learning dentistry in great num- bers at universities of this country. Most of them have been sent by their governments on scholarships and are under obligation to return to their native land. No such obligation has been imposed in the South Africans who graduate this month from Michi- gan but almost every one of his own will has elcted South Africa as his place for practicing. speaker of the day. For an hour, the vast audience that filled the stadium was held in close attention by the young speaker who plead for a stal- wart facing of the problems of the day. In the beginning of his address, Dr. Frank declared that knowing all the rules that govern the ancient ritual of commencement addresses, he desired to break all of them, first because he was not essentially older than the youths he addressed and secondly be- cause "certainly today there are forces and tendencies marching through the world with seven league boots -making history while we wait, forces and tendencies which, unless they are mastered by disciplined in- telligence, may, despite our private virtues and personal vitalities, pick up our personal careers and break them as if they were pipe stems." "To man as an animal, food, cloth- ing and shelter may be the most im- portant things in the world," Dr. Frank continued, "but to man as an intellectual and social being, the three most important things in life are edu- cation, religion and politics. Politics, when divorced from educa- tion and religion becomes a poor and petty thing. The statesman is more than a juggler of post-office appoint- ments, more than the astute engineer of a party machine. When he rises to the nobler conception of politics, the statesman is the impresario of the collective life of his people. He gives voice to their inarticulate aspirations. He lures all of the specialisms of scholars and preachers and bankers and business men and labor leaders and farmers out of their airtight com- partments and welds them into a fighting fraternity for the common good. Obviously this field of politics in which all the rich and radiant hu- man faces of a nation meet cannot be considered apart from the fields of education and religion. I want to suggest that today, out of these three fields-education, relig- ion and politics-are coming three challenges that the educated men and women of Western civilization must meet if we are to change the twilight of a new Dark Ages into the dawn of a new Rennaissance. And these three challenges, as I see it are: First, the challenge to make the university free. Second, the challenge to make the church pacific. Third, the challenge to make the state realistic." The success or failure of the demo- cratic experiment on this continent will ultimately be decided in our schiools, declared Dr. Frank. Magnifi- cent housing and large attendance at universities will not dictate right course for a democracy or determine its actions.
