Address While Gov. Lee M. Russell
Presented the Diplomas.
With the delivery of the Baccalaure
ate Address by Dr. Nathaniel Butler,
dean of the University College of the
University of Chicago, the awarding
of prizes and medals, and the confer
ring of degrees and diplomas by Gov.
Lee M. Russell, the sixty-ninth com
mencement in the seventy-third year
of the University of Mississippi came
to a close Tuesday.
Just before the graduating exercises
Tuesday morning, the class of 1921
represented by Hubert Lipscomb,
president of the class formally pres
ented to the University the beautiful
class memorial lamp post that has
been erected in front of the Lyceum
Building. It was accepted on behalf
of the University by A. B. Schauber
of Laurel, Miss., secretary of the
Board of Trustees.
Class day exercises were held in the
chapel Monday evening. The class
speakers were: Miss Lois E. Hathorn,
University, the subject of her essay
being, “Followers of the Sinking Star”
Sidney Bryan Berry, Braxton# Miss.,
“Citizenship in a Democracy”; Ivey B.
Peebles, Philadelphia, Miss., “National
Preparedness in International Peace.”
Dr. Butler in his address to the
graduating class took as his subject
“Education”, and delivered one of the
broadest, most practical, logical and
learned addresses on education ever
hea l O v the platform at the Uni
V • o. *'•? * : • W; upheld,
cause of broad liberal education from
almost every possible angle and his
address was very impressive to his
audience. His address was a gem.
Following the baccalaureate address
the medals and prizes/were awarded.
Following a brief and very fitting
and appropriate address to the mem
bers of the graduating class of 1921,
Gov. Lee M. Russell awarded the dip
lomas to the graduates of the different
departments.
One of the most interesting part of
the graduating exercise was near the
conclusion when Chancellor J. N. Pow
ers very impressively introduced Dr.
W. A. Evans of Chicago, a native
Mississippian, and announced that the
University of Mississippi was very
jealous of its highest degree and only
confered it upon those who had achiev
ed that which was of great benefit to
humanity, that Dr. Evans had achiev
edthat which was worth while and that
the University would confer the L. L.
D. degree upon Dr. Evans. Having

Evans the degree of L. L. D. was then
conferred upon him by Gov. Russell.
After a brief review of the lead that
University men have taken in the avo
cations, Dr. Evans expressed his ap
preciations for the degree conferred
upon him.

j Makes Statement That He Will Enter
Field For Senatorial Nomination
Against Pat Harrison
} -
Governor Lee M. Russell has spent
I a few days this week in Oxford, his
i old home. He was accompanied here
by his wife last Saturday, the Gover
nor coming here to attend the com
mencement exercises at thu Univer
sity, and visit relatives.
Governor Russell is enjoying fine
health and shows it well. He was
kept busy shaking hands with his
many friends here during his short
| stay of three days. He talks freely
land when asked by editor of the Eagle
'“if he would be a candidate for the
Senate against Senator Pat Harrison”
t he said:
“You may state in your paper that 1
| will be in the race with Pat Harrison
; for the Senate in 11*23.”
The Governor went on to state that
he intended to defeat Harrison by a
big majority, that he was going to
j “make Pat give an account of the
'deeds done in the body.” He stated
that Governor Bilbo would not be in
the race with Senator Vardanian, for
John Sharp Williams’ place, that Var
danian would be elected by an over
whelming majority.
The Governor, in discussing party
issues, stated that the two parties
would always remain in Mississippi
and that in future elections party
lines would be drawn closer than ever.
The Governor has a strong follow
ing in this section of the State and
when the time comes they will be with
him in the race for the Senate.
I will be able to furnish my regular
•ustomers Ice, all the spring, summer,
all and winter. C. J. Lawhorn.

Important Matters Considered at May
Conference of Mississippi
Field Council
Agricultural College, Miss., May
23.—That general merchandising or
jtraflic in commodities that do not per
; tain to actual productions from the
farm, in connection with farm bureau
i affairs, is directly repugnant to the
basic principles upon which it is
{sought to establish that organization,
,’and will not be tolerated so far as the
I participation of extension service
agents is concerned, is announced in
positive and authoritative terms.
This was one of the most important
matters considered at the May con
j ference of the, Mississippi Field coun
cil, coming upon a report and recom
mendations be the subcommittee on
farm bureau.
The committee, through its chair
man L. A. Olson, supervising agent
for the northern district in whose dis
trict the first county farm bureau was
formed, made strong recommendations
to Director Wilson and met with his
approval. The report which will be
rigidly entorceu was as tollows:
“We recommend as follows:
1. That no county agent shall ad
vocate or he a party to the buying or
handling of commodities or articles
that do not contribute directly to the
economical production of farm pro
ducts. In other words it is the sense
of this body that all purchases made
by Farm Bureaus in Mississippi
should be confined strictly to raw
material that enters into the -econo
mical production of farm products or
livestock, and that all employees of
the State and Federal Extension Dep
artment shall not only not advocate,
but, instead shall strenuously oppose
the Farm Bureau organization in his
or her county or district purchasing
any article or articles failing to come
under the above classification.
It is further recommended that
any county agent or extension worker
failing to comply with the above re
commendations shall be requested to
resign.
2. It having come to the notice of
this committee that some county
agents have been speculating on other
county agents or farm bureaus. It is
suggested that this is not in keeping
with the cooperative spirit that should
exist between county agents or farm
bureaus, nor in accord with the polic
ies of the American Farm Bureau
Federate jf it is therefore recom
mended rrrwt-this practice be strongly
condemned and discontinued.
3. It is also recommended that
where a farm bureau is to be organ
ized in a county that not less than
two weeks of continuous drive be made
prior to organization.”
Other matters disposed of at the
same council pertained to routine af
fairs mostly, including details for
establishing the Mississippi Extension
News bulletin during the coming fis
cal year, which are in definite shape.
TODAY
Students Spend Half Holiday Clean
ing up Buildings and Grounds,
i
—
i Agricultural College, Miss., ' May
23.—Saturday, May 21 was observed
as a semi-holiday, at Mississippi A.
and M. College so far as class room
work was concerned. All classes were
suspended and Col. Elting, command
ant and his staff of subordinate officers
took charge of the cadet corps. After
breakfast, after battalion formation
the half a thousand young men were
dispersed in squads and companies to
an pairs ox me campus, ciau m over
alls, and armfed with nothing more
formidable than rakes, trash cans,
brooms, mops and such like cleansing
utilities. This was the final clean up
day for the present scholastic term,
and the students fell readily into line
with the spirit of the day. Result,
every sxjuare yard of ground and every
building got a fine cleanup.
Saturday was also observed as me
morial day in honor of the late Chief
Justice Edward Douglas White. Pres
ident Hull directed that the college
colors be carried at half-mast as an
institutional tribute of the illustrious
justice which was coupled with the
order for dismissal of class room
work.
The college foi’ces are entered on
the final week, with next Sunday. May
2f) as commencement Sunday. A mus
ical program worthy of the occasion
is being perfected, under the leader
ship of Musical Director A. Weatherly
to be rendered in the college chapel.
