Berea Commencement
Not within the memory of the
oldest of Berea inhabitants has the
College experienced a more success
ful Commencement week than the one
that has just cloned. The festivities
began with a light and humorous
play put on by the college senior
clans. It was followed on Friday
night by the first rtndHon of Maw
tha. The TabcWiacle' Ta7 crowded,
the singers up to par, and every
body enjoyed a delightful time.
The Commencement sermon, deli
vered by President Hutchins, waa a
direct appeal to manhood; to char
acter; and to the requirement that
Jehovah 'makes of every individual
soul. His sermon was more person
al than general, and contained a les
son for each individual graduate.
The address of Sunday night was
one that will not be forgotten by the
youngest student during the full run
of hia years. It waa delivered by
Col. Raymond Robins of Chicago,
who haa had one. of the most inter
eating and unique careers of any
American citisen. A brief report
of hia address will be found in other
columns of this issue, Ramond Rob
ins is known thruout America as a
great friend of the laboring man. He
is a sound believer In flnsnres, an
unyielding fighter for clean politics,
and a believer in the divine leader
ship of Jesua Christ. Pomibly no
living American knows more about
Rusnia and Russian troubles than Mr.
Robins. It was surely a rare privilege
for the citizens and students of Be
rea to hear him. Not once I Nor
twice! Nor thrice! But four times.
For he became so enthused over Be
rea that he stayed from Sunday un
til Wednesday, night.
Commencement day was ushered in
with a bright sun. The hillside of the
campus from Elipse street entirely
around the tabernacle was crowded
with horses, buggies, wagons, and
automobiles. It would not be accur
ate to estimate the crowd, but the
number certainly ran into the thous
ands. The Tabernacle was crowded dur
ing the morning exercises conducted
by the Vocational School, tha Aca
demy, and Normal school. Then the
unusual thing happened. The entire
crowd marched from the tabernacle
LONDON MAN DROWNED
AT BOON ES BOKO
Roy Scoville, of London, was
drowned in the bathing beach at
Boonesboro about 2:00 o'clock Wed
nesday morning last week. No one
is thought to know the how and
wherefore of his drowning but it is
supposed he wss seised with cramps.
Two young men from Richmond
were also in the river with him who
saw him swim down tha river and
when ho failed to re', irn gave the
alarm.
Hia body was uoi found until
late Thursday morning about 60 ft.
from tha shore in 30 feet of water.

THOSE RECEIVING THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS. 1922
to the chapel where the concluding
exercises of the morning were held.
The graduates were seated aa on
Baccalaureate Sunday, with the ex
ception of four chosen members ot
the college graduating class, who sat
on the platform and delivered short
speeches. After the speeches the
main, address clothe UMrnueff Was de-J,
delivered by" Rev; Ted rick' Shan
non, D.D., Pastor of the Auditorium
Church, Chicago, 111.
Dr. Shannon is not a stranger to
this section as he is a native of
Lawrence County, Kentucky. He left
his father's fsrro in early manhood
to go into the ministry. He went
forward and upward, as a mountain
boy is eminently able to do when he
is fired with a vision of service.
After Dr. Shannon's adHreaa the
prise Bibles and diplomas were deli -
vered by tho President.
The crowd adjourned for lunch-
eon at one o"clock, an reassembled
at 2:.'!0 around the band stand in the
open air. There must have been two
thousand people who stood in the
open sir under the shades of the
great oaks from 2:30 until 5:00 and
listened to stirring addresses by
President Emeritus Wm. G. Frost;
Trustees J. A. R. Rogers and Wm. E.
Barton; Raymond Robins and Dr.
Johnathan C. Day. Berea College
and Kentucky were in the saddle at
this commencement.
Dr. Rogers and Dr. Barton are
graduates of Berea and justly call
this their school home. Dr. Shannon
and Dr. Day, who lives now in New
York, are natives of the mountains of
Kentucky, and what is news to most
people, Raymond Robins is a native
of Kentucky. He sold papers during
boyhood in tho streets of Louisville,
and later dug coal for a living in
the mountains of Tennessee and Vir
ginia. Never have the cici3?e of Berea
and vicinity heard as many com
mencement addresses on vital sub
jects of world betterment as this
year. The heart of the world with its
anguixh and its joy, with its sorrow
and its gladne&s, also opened up to
our neighbors by men of authority
and vision. Everyone joins in pro
claiming this a glorious Commence
ment Season. '
Scoville was a graduate of tho 8ua
Bennett Memorial School and had
continued his studies for nno year
in college. He was also manager
for the London Ice Cream Co. for
the past two or threi years.

end wagon floats. AH floats should
try to be on Depot street by 9:30
o'clock. Gather there to the music

we'll have this year. Just you come
and see.
CENTRE ELECTS NEW
PRESIDBN r
The Presidency of Centre College
has been offered to tha Rev. Dr. R.
Ames Montgomery, who is new presi
dent of Parsons College, Fairchild,
lows. The election of Dr. Montgom
ery was made by a unanimous vote
of the trustees present.
Parsons College under his leader
ship has experienced its greatest
growth and Dr. Montgomery is
great preacher as well as a great
educator.
The Kentucky Adocate says:
"Dr. Montgomery will find a warm
welcome in Danville. He will also
find plenty to do as head of Centre
College. Be will have tha hearty
cooperation of all Danville, Boyla
County, and much aid thruout the
State."
The Hague Conference has opened
during the week. It Is noticesble
that the personnel is somewhat dif
ferent from previous conferences.
Many of the older and well known
leaders are absent and their place is
taken by younger men. The foreign
minister of Holland, Kamaheek, is
the presiding officer, and the meet
ings are held in the Palace of Peace.
On the supposition that the news
papers of the world were largely re- t
sponsible for the bsd reputation of
the Genoa Conference, an order was
given to exclude all newspaper cor
respondents from the plsce of meet
ing. The correspondents, however,
held together and refused to be set
aside. Compromises have been re
sorted to thus far. They refused
even to vacate the halls of the Palace
to make way for a lunch to the del
egates and in the end were invited
to attend the lunch.
The recent .cabinet changes in Ja
pan are of great significance. After
some delay Admiral Kato has agreed
to become prime minister. He ac
cepts the position only on condition
that the item of military expendi
ture in the budget shall be cut down
by a considerable sum. It is gener
ally believed that the new ministry
will be favorable to the decisions
agreed upon at the Washington Con
ference and hence tho change is a
tangible evidence of good faith that
is gratifying to all the world. Other
Japanese statesmen of the same lib
eral type are likely to be members
of the cabinet. Already it is rumor
ed that the foreign office is being
held open for Baron Shidehara. Tha
whole effectiveness of the Washing
ton Conference and treaties rests on
good faith and this makes a good be
ginning. It is believed the new cabi
net will have the support of the chief
parties in both the lower and upper
houaa. v . '. ..--.' - - r'-'
The elections in Ireland passed off
more quietly than was expected. The
number voting was not more than half
the registered voters. It is thought
that the coalition plan was followed
out and that the Parliament will
have members from the Free State,
supporters and also tho Republicans.
The vote carried an acceptance of the
treaty and of the constitution for the
country. This constitution was draft
ed by Irish leaders, but approved by
the English signers of the Anglo
Irish Treaty. It is an up-to-date
document and provides for two
houses of Parliament. The lower
house has large power-of control in
money matters. No military service
can be required of Ireland except for
the defense of the Free State. Mem
bers of Parliament must take oath
of allegiance to the kine. and tho
Treaty is the ultimate authority The
Governor General is, like the same
officer in Csnada, a nominal execu
tive.
Speculation is already active in the
press regarding the succession to
Lenine in Russia. At present the
power seems to be in the hands of a
triumvirate, but must pass before
long to some one of the leaders. It
is believed that the diplomatist who
figured so prominently at the Genoa
Conference, Tchitcherin, stands tha
best chance of being made head of
the Soviet government Other leaders
mentioned are either too radical
ly communistic or too Imperislistic to
meet with favor. Tchitcherin is a
man of good birth and of much ex
perience in handling affairs. Whether
he will succeed in getting Russia
recognized by other countries and in
getting a loan to help in reconstruc
tion remains to bo seen, j
Affairs in China just now are at a
critical point. The election of Li
Yuan-hung as president seems prom
ising. It is reported slso that Wu
Ting-fang is favored as prima min
ister. He wss st one time the rep
resentative of China -in the United
States, and is a statesman of ability
and progressive ideas. The object in
view in all the changes Is to unify
north and south China, and unless
the effort succeeds, the future is not
promising. For soma time there
have been two presidenta and a3
kinds of friction between tha sec
tions. Made up aa China Is, and with
the strength of local feeling which
has characterised tha people, the
