•‘The gas on my stomach was so bad

G. W. GRADUATES
HEAR DR. HITE
New Educational System Is
Recommended—Sigma Xi
Chapter Installed.
A "less stereotyped" educational sys
tem. with a curriculum designed to
make factual teaching of minor im
portance and offer means of research
that will help to preserve the plas
ticity of the students mind, was
recommended before the George
Washington University graduating
students last night by Dr. William
Alanson White, superintendent of St.
Elizabeth’s Hospital and psychiatry
professor in the university medical
school.
His was the principal address at
Constitution Hall at the university’s
Winter convocation, which also was
marked by the conferring of honorary
degrees on eight internationally known
scientists and the installation of the
new university chapter of Sigma Xi,
national honorary scientific,fraternity.
In emphasizing his belief the teach
ing of actual factual material is of
minor importance. Dr. White said:
"I believe that the greatest privi
lege that comes to the youth of thus
land is to sit under the instruction of
men of ripe wisdom and of fine char
acter, who are capable of inspiring in
the student those qualities of curiosity
and eagerness to learn and devotion
to what they conceive to be their call
ing in life that make the true man
hood and womanhood that we are
aiming for.”
Sees Flexibility as Asset.
Dr. White said that whenever great
changes have occurred in world ide
ologies they have been accompanied
by great tragedies, especially when
these ideologies were political and
economic.
it only tne nexiDiuty oi youtn couia
be retained somewhat longer or in
somewhat larger measure, these
changes could be more readily nego
tiated. The youth should be taught
the historical development of ideas
and precepts, the ideologies and meth
odologies of politics and economics—in
short, the history of the growth of
ideas and feelings, of the changes of
thinking, the alterations of concepts
which have come to pass during his
torical times."
Of the eight scientists who received
honorary degrees from Dr. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, president of the university, six
| are now connected with Washington
i institutions. Dr. White was on of those
honored. The honorary degree of doc
tor of laws was conferred on him and
two others—Dr. Edward Ellery, dean
of the faculty of Union College, and
Dr. John Campbel Merriam, president
of the Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington.
Others Receive Degrees.
Honorary degrees of doctor of science
were received by the following: Dr.
Charles G. Abbot, secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution: Dr. Paul
Bartsch. curator of the mollusks divi
sion. National Museum: Dr. George B.
Pegram, physics professor at Columbia
University: Dr. William Bowie, director
of the division of geodosy, Coast and
Geodetic Survey, and Dr. Lyman J.
Briggs, director of the Bureau of
Standards.
In a brief address preceding the con
ferring of the degrees. President Mar
vin said:
‘‘In recognition of the milestone set
up by the establishment of a Sigma Xi
chapter at the university the trustees
i felt it would be most appropriate to
i select outstanding Washington scien
tists and other leaders in that field for
this honors."
Charter Presented.
Installation of the university chapter
of the society was announced by Dr.
Pegram. acting for the national presi
dent of the Sigma Xi. The petition for
the chapter—the sixty-ninth—was
read by Dr. Bartsch, and its charter
was presented by Dr. Ellery, national
secretary of the soeiety.
The formal installation ceremonies
were presented yesterday afternoon by
the nomination of 50 workers in the
field of science for election to the so
ciety, which took place at the Cosmos
Club. Forty-three members of the uni
versity faculty, who are members of
the Sigma Xi chapters at the uni
versities where they received their de
grees, will be charter members of the
new branch.
The convocation opened with a
musical program and the academic
procession in which marched uni
versity dignitaries and the graduates
in their tassled caps and black gowns
tinged with scarlet, orange, blue or
green. The Invocation was pronounced
by Rev. Joseph S. Loughran.
President Marvin told the graduating
class to be "honest, open-minded and
to live so that your integrity will guar
antee to your fellow men the principle
of living."

Officer of New Group Dares
Association to Join in
Open Rivalry.
The next move was up to the Ameri
can Bar Association today in its feud
with the new National Lawyers' Guild,
which last night, through an official
spokesman, charged that the elder or
ganization is "dominated by special
privilege and vested interests."
Selected to answer Frederick H
Stinchfield of Minneapolis, president
of the American Bar Association, who
spoke over the radio yesterday op
posing President Roosevelt's Supreme
Court reorganization plan, George T
Davis of San Francisco, guild vice
president, deliberately threw down the
gage of battle.
Summing up the liberal views of the
guild, Davis declared "we challenge
any other existing lawyers’ organiza
I tion in the United States to meet us
in friendly rivalry for the common
good of our country on these pro
posals."
Just how “friendly" is the rivalry
was indicated by another remark that
“the tragedy of the situation is that
the only organization existing today
which purports to represent even 30.
000 iof the Nation’s 175,000> lawyers
Ls dominated by the spokesmen of the
large financial interest* and monop
olies of our land.’’
Stinehfield Challenged.
Davis “dared"’ Sttnchfield to reveal
the position of the American Bar As
sociation on the pending child labor
amendment, which the guild heartily
indorsed during its three-day organi
zation convention closing here late
I yesterday.
This belligerent attitude was some
what at variance with that of the
guild's first president. John P. De
vaney, noted Northwest liberal, who
! resigned a few days ago as chief judge
of the Minnesota Supreme Court.
“We have done nothing and want
to do nothing intended to harm the
29,000 lawyers of the American Bar
I Association."’ Judge Devaney declared.
But,” he continued. “I want to join
with you who hold a different point
of view.”
At another point in his inaugural
address Judge Devaney said: “This
guild stands for the child labor
amendment, for minimum wage legis
lation. for social security laws and for
all those laws which will bring us a
better society and a happier and bet
ter life for all.”
The fight between the two legal
organizations began Sunday when
Stinchfield attempted to defend the
bar association against charges made
by Senator Bone. Democrat, of Wash
ington at a guild banquet Saturday
I night. Bone came back yesterday
with a statement that the National
Lawyers' Guild was ' born out of the
stupid, anti-social behavior” of the
bar association.

The President's Judiciary bill has
been one of the principal differences
between the two organizations. The

by which desired New Deal ends can
be immediately accomplished.
In his speech yesterday, delivered
before the Minneapolis Chamber of !
Commerce. Stinrhfield charged that j
the reorganization proposal would de- ;
stroy the Supreme Court and estab- !
llsh a tyranny.
“If in the opinion of the people the j
distribution or modification of the |
constitutional powers be in any par
ticular wrong." he asserted, “let it j
be corrected by an amendment in the
way which the Constitution desig- j
nates. But let there be no change
by usurpation; for, though this, in j
one instance may be the instrument
of good, it is the customary weapon
by which Iree governments are de
stroyed.”
"Concentration of power,” he con
cluded, “has always meant disaster
to the common man. Why should we
believe the result will be otherwise 1
now?”
Election of officers concluded the
business of the Guild convention.
With the selection of Judge Devaney
to be first president, it was under- !
stood he would serve only six weeks, j
The jurist explained that his affairs
would make longer service impossible.
Meanwhile the Nominations Commit
tee. headed by Judge Robert Kenney
of the Los Angeles Superior Court,
will send out names of suggested sue- •
cessors to the 1,900 members for (
direct vote.

law "as a living and flexible instru
ment which must be adapted to the
needs of the people,” was adopted, as
were several resolutions.
une autnorizea a committee to stuay
the needs for constitutional amend
ments. Another recommended the
social security program be broadened
to set a “minimum standard of health
and decency'* and that its cost be
lifted entirely from employes and met
by inheritance, income and gift taxes.
Extension of Works Progress Admin
istration projects to provide for pro
fessional men, Including lawyers, was
urged in another resolution which
suggested that the test for eligibility
be whether the candidate had a "de
cent standard of living," rather than
the “needs test.”
The guild favored removal of all
restrictions on suffrage inconsistent
with the widest realization of universal
suffrage, and opposed judges prac
ticing law.
A special committee was provided
to study the social, legal and economic
aspects of the sit-down strike which i
was described as "the new economic j
weapon.”
A resolution Indorsing uniform
divorce laws was offered from the floor
by Miss Pauline J. Mailer of New York
City, and was adopted by an over
whelming vote. The matter was re
ferred to a committee for recom
mendation as to means by which to
effectuate, it.
