In a lettcr, addressed tto Robert Ewing, publisher of the N'ew Orleans States, President Harding stated. "Couvinced as I am that this au tumn's natioual convention of the American iLegion will be for many rea sons the most important yet held by that splendid organization, I am writ ing to tell you of my cnnceni for its success. New Orleans as the municipal host to the convention will, of course, makc the utmost contriliution to the occasion. The fine hospitality that has made New Orleans and Louisiana fam ous, will impress upon their guests from other sections a rcalization of the greatness and variety of our coun try ,its economic unity, and its single ness of purpose in behalf of the na tional aspirations. It is most desirable that the men of the Legion, who have scrved so nobly to estalilish our couu try's place in the world, shall embrace every opportunity to expaud tlieir knowledge of their native land. "The nation as a result of the war's upheaval, confronts trymg times and diflicult problems, to whose scttlement we must demand all that singlncss of cffnrt and williiigncss of sacrificc, that marked the commou effort in the war. No class of nur citizens knows so well as these men of the American Legion what such eflort and such sacrificc mcan; none has proved so splendidly its readiness to respoml at the first call. Therefore, in dealing with the problems of today and the possible crisis of the future, none will be sum moucd with more confidence to hclp sustain the authnrity of the govern ment. "It is a satisfaction to know of your plans for special effort, through the 'New Orleans States', to contribute largely to the truly natioual character and siRiiifirance of this gathering. I want to cnngratulate you upon them, and to hope for your ftillest success." President Harding has tcntatively acceptcd an invitation to attcnd the Legion convention. Too Much Money Cleveland, O. Johnny Kilbanc, world's feather wcight champion, asked American Legion men $100,000 to tncet Iiugene Criqui, Chauipion of Francc, in a bout during the Legion's natioual convention at New Orleans in October. After leaming Kilbane's tcrms the Legion men started for New Vork without Johnny's signaturc to a contract 2 CARS CLASH; PERSONS INJURED Thrown Through Windshield In Acci dent at Blind Baker Hill Tuesday It took l,"i stitches to close a wound m Chfford I'erson's head, resulting from an automobile accident at Blind Baker hill Tuesday, when Mr. Persnus was thrown through the windshield of Clinton Boynton's Ford.

YESTERDAY 525 REGISTER When Registration Is Com plete Men Will Outnumber Women, Says Dean PRESIDENT MOODY OPENS COLLEGE Delivers Address to Student Body in Meal Chapel Yesterday With several yet to register, Dean Wiley of Middlebury College stated this morning that total registration, men and women had reached 525, the. largest in the history of the institution. There are today 2,)S undergraduate men and 259 undergraduate women registere1, two graduate men and sis graduate women, making the total, 200 meti and 20.) women. In the Freshmati class there are 101 men an l 0,. women. In comparison with last year. th.: enrollment will be consider ably larger as there are stlil several meti, who for one reason or anoth.'r lnve not been able to get here yet for registration Last year the total en rollment wus 191, with 2 IS women ani 210 men Dean Wiley said that h: could not predict what the tiual tot.il wotild be for this year, but stated thit when rigiitration was compleu ther: would probably be more men thaa women The College was opened formall yesterday morning for the 12.nl ac i demio year, when in Mead ChapK, President I'aul Dwight Moody a ! dressed the student body, taking f' r his subject part of a letter wntten hiTi by i Middlebury trustee The President's opening address .3 ,i- follows: This week I received a letter from one nf the Trustees of this College, a part of which I am going to quote- "The situation of the College ought to etiable you all to adopt a wise selec tive process. I sympathize quite -.trongly with the attitude taken by President Hopkins at Dartmouth. I believe a very large percentage, if not a majority, of the boys go to college now because it is the styiish thing to do and not because they have my par ticular aspirations to become more efticiettt and of greater use in the world To lind out the boys that ought to have such an education and who will be of more worth to the world if educated, is the serious probletn which the heads of our American col leges must meet and solve." This is an admirable text, but if you would fetl more at home , with one taken from Holy Writ, I would -.uggesr that familiar one, "Many are called but few are choire,' for that is pre cisely what the expression "Many are called but few are chosen" means. Collegeward Movement Is Large The collegeward movement at the present day is quite unprecedented. We here in one of the smaller colleges have felt it in proportion just as much as the larger institutious. The reason for it is that the world is coming to a constantly increasing appreciatiou of what training and education mean. H. G. Wells has declared that "His tory is a race between education and disaster." Society has come oue of the great tribulation of the War, not chas tened at all points as it should be, but with a keener realization of the neces sity of education. The tboughtful man knows, and knows right well, that if he is to be of the greatest use, he must educate his mind. Good inten tions unsupported by braius are a nuisance. Only this week I came across and rereatl a letter written me some years ago by Doctor Cutten, who is being installed president of Colgate I'niver sity this coming niouth, in which he said, "I am coming to the conclusion more and more that the curse of this world is good people who do not know anything or are utibalanced. Their very goodness gives weight to their had or erratic thinking." It is because of this increased de mand for education that those who are fortunate cnough to obtaiu it, should count their hlessings and be grateful in the right way, taking them as a gift of socicty, which lays upon thera an obligation to society. You hear it said sometimes that a man has eamed his way through col lege, or paid for his own education. Nothing was ever more absurd. We know what people mean by this and of course there is that clemcnt of trutli in it But the thoughtful man or woman who goes through collcge knows right well that he or she is the inheritor of priceless gifts, for which one can never pay. The story is told of ouc of the great figures in the English Church in the last century, that hc was once called upon to baptizc into the Church of Eiikdand a child of some neighbors who were not mcmbers of his faith. At the conclusion of the ceremony the fathcr asked how much hc owcd the preacher. The rcply was,"Tcn thousand pounds." The poor man stood aghast and asked if the minister did not know that hc did not bcgin to own a hundrcdth part of this, to him, princcly sum. To which the minister rcplied that the man should realize that all the sacra (Continued on page four)
