Attended by Parents and

the legislature, nearly all the regents
and large number of parents and
friends were present yesterday after
noon at the sixteenth annual COM
mencement exercises of the state
| school of agriculture which were held
in the new live stock pavilion.
One hundred and one students re-
ceived their diplomas at the hands of

Oxygen and Hydrogen in Animal and
J Vegetable Life" was the subject of a
paper read by Clyde II. Bailey, one of
the graduates Ira Hammer was the
next speaker, who had chosen as his
topic, THE Bacteria of Legumen." He
dwelt especially on the method adopt
ed by the United States department of
agriculture in inoculating the soil
with the bacteria Of red clover, which
process is said to give exceptional fer
tlity to. the soil so treated. 1.-The
Higher 1deaP' was the title of an ora
ton delivered by w. A Peterson.
How to Make Bread
The next number on the programme
received probably more applause than
any of the foregoing. 1t was demon
stration how to make bread. Miss
Abel Thompson, who acted as demon
Strator, explained in pleasing manner
how to make bread which would be
acknowledged to be like that which
mother used to make" by even the
biggest kind of crank husband. The
valedictory was delivered by w. l.
Blocker. The principal speaker of the
evening was DR.. w. o. THOMPSON
| president of the University of Ohio In
| stirring address he eulogiZed the es-
adjustment of an institution like the
4 rsnI c-nL 81
expenditure of money for the erection
\ and maintenance of such schools
Il make no apologies for the mil
| lions spent in the interest of higher ed
ucation. It has been said that educa-
| ton was the burden of civilization; /
| claim that civilization is the burden of
education, as without education civili-
| cation could not exist. Every cent put
| into your education insures perpetuity
! OF percentage. Education wants to
make men free" DR.. Thompson con-
tinued along this line for some time and
| was greeted with applause when he
had finished.

dent NOrthrop was to deliver the di-
