Will Issue Short-Term Notes Washington, June 25. - Two new series of short-term, 4 1-2 per cent certificates of indebtedness, were an- nounced today by the treasury de-3 partment, to be dated July 1. Uronze Fountain Placed on Campus A bronze drinking fountain, the gift to the city of Ann Arbor of the late Francis M. Hamilton, '69, mayor of Ann Arbor from 1905 to 1907, was in- formally unveiled last Monday. The fountain has been placed near the diagonal walk on the northwest cor- ner of the campus, but is not yet ready for use. It is the work of the sculp- tor, Albin Polasek. Mayor Hamilton's gift comes to the University on the 50th anniversary of his graduation from the literary col- lege. At his death in May, 1914, he left bequests to many good causes, and remembered both the ity and the University. To the University he left the sum of $1,000, from which was established the loan fund called by his name; and to the city an equal sum to erect a drinking fountain at the corner of State street and North University avenue, on the northwest corner of the campus. The three basins of the fountain are sunk in the top of a circular drum of bronze, surrounded by a procession of figures in relief, representing Youth, Labor, Poetry, and Philosophy. First come exuberant boys with cymbals, trumpets, and pipes, then two grace- ful women bearing water-jars, a child with a basket of flowers, a young man with a scroll in hand and a maiden leaning on his arm, a grave young shepherd with his sheep, and finally a youth spreading a scroll of figures before a sage of noble and kindly mien. Above the top is the inscription, "Presented to tie City of .Ann Arbor by Francis M. Hamilton, Mayor 1905- 1907, University of Michigan Class of 1869." ENGINEERS GIVEN ADVICE BY DEAN A bit of wholesome fatherly advice was that given to the senior engi- neers by Dean Mortimer E. Cooley, in his farewell address to them on Tues- day, in their. Clss day exercises in the Engineering quadrangle. He warned them against an inflated idea of the value of their own services-a feeling whichbmight come to the senior who goes from the classroom directly into business at a salary that hovers around the $175 a month figure. "These higher salaries may not last long," he said. "There will probably be a period of hard times following the war, and after the readjustment, prices will go down and salaries will decrease, and there may be a panic, but even with a lower salary you must remember that a dollar will purchase more than it does now. The dollar today has the same value as the old Mexican dollar, and that should help you to a realization that you are not worth more than you are. The high cost of living comes from the high wages of the employed, and not high wages from the high cost of liv- ing. In figuring the cost of anything, fully 75 per cent of the cost of the article is due to the cost of the labor that went into it. "Render the best service you know how. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are a great success in the world. You are a success, per- haps, in being able to earn a large salary, but success is measured in other terms than dollars. Do your work so that it satisfies you, and if you have been conscientious, it will satisfy your employers. "Live so that you can say you do not owe anyone a cent, and then have a hobby; this will lighten your life. It was not till I had reached the age of 55 years that I annexed a hobby, but it immediately-became a great ii- spiration to me, and now I want to live to be 100 years old, that I may get all the joy out of that hobby." President Roland Cooper made a telling appeal to his- classmates to preserve through life the friendships (Continued on Page Three) REVEIILLE OPENS ALUMNI DOORS TO 622 A T FINISH OF COMMENCEMENT DAY EXERCISES IN HILL AUDITORIU1 TWELVE HONORARY DEGREES INCLUDED IN NUMBER CONFERRE BY PRESIDENT HARRY B. HUTCHINS AT END OF SEVENTY-FIFTH A NNUJAL CEREMONY FREDERICK P. KEPPEL, ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF WAR, SPEAKS ON "WHAT WE HAVE LEARNE] Pays Lasting Tribute to the American Doughboy, and Delineates the ti portance of Role Played During World War by Men from Universities; Gives Rules for Life As Taps rang clearly across the Campus this morning, more than men and women, holding their new diplomas in their hands, stood silen at attention in a last farewell to undergraduate days. Reveille for alumni years sounded a moment later, and with its last note the 75th nual Commencement Day exercises o f the University of Michigan came an end. Martial music was entirely in ke eping with the whole tone of t ceremony in Hill auditorium, for this Commencement has shown from t first the victory spirit desired by Pres ident Harry B. Hutchins. The Honorable Frederick Paul Keppel, third assistant secretary of wa made the address of the day, and dre w in no uncertain pictures 'what tb Nation had learned from its Universities during the war, and what th Universities should learn from the Nation, now that peace has again settle upon the United States. . Following the opening 'music, and the prayer by the Reverend Jol Mason Wells, Mr. Keppel spoke to the class, which included more than 5 students from the graduate school, and a. dozen men who were receivin honorary degrees, upon the subject o f "What Have We Learned?" He said in part: inspiratin '"What single group made the fine impression in the great war?

Ralph Gault gave the class history, and told of the activities of the senior class, and its participation in the war.; "During our time we have seen many, things," he said. "President Angell has died, President Hutchins has re- signed, the Union building has gone up, and the Library has been built, all of which took place during our, stay in the University."7 Jean Maclennan, class orator, toldf of the present world conditions, and the part which the class of 1919 was to play in adjusting affairs. The class poem, which appears, elsewhere in this issue, was read by H. C. L. Jackson,, class poet. Owing to the lack of aids to futuris- tic vision, Archie McDonald, the pro- phet, was compelled to resort to tea for insights into the future, where he saw prominent members of the class in widely different roles. For the class he prophesied a great future and a prominent part in world events. The singing of "The Yellow and the Blue" closed the exercises. REGENTS GRANT SALARY INCREASE Following a salary-increase agita- tion several years on the part of the University faculty, the Board of Re- gents recently acted upon the mat- ter, raising the pay of instructors and assistant professors 30 per cent and that of full professors 25 per cent. This is the result of a petition by the faculty to the Board of Regents and an act of the last legislature which made possible an increase. From now on the salary scale at the University will be as follows: Instructors $1,300 to $2,100; as- istant professors $2,200 to $2,600; as- sociate professors $2,700 to $3,000; and full professors will receive all the way from $3,000 to $5,000 a year. Four Fields "There are three or four genera 'ields in which Americans have had chance to learn lessons of great valu as a result of our war experiencE First, it seems to me, we have had chance to learn that we are a rea nation, potentially strong with th strength of youth; second, that to ful fill our mission every man and woma and all of every such individual, is a object of national concern; that w must be mobilized and that we mus continue our lessons in team play. W have still plenty to learn in this fieli Third, that we must have and mus recognize the leadership of those wb know, which, after all, is the great tea of a democracy. Finally, to bring ou the best that is in us, as individual or as a nation, we nlust have an ain high, clear cut and clearly understooc "If we apply these four lessons whic we have had a chance to learn, to edi cational conditions, and particularly t university conditions, it will be fo three reasons: "The first is, the general wisdom c confining one's remarks to things h knows something about.
