the improvised rostrum, but a general
signing of the document was prevented
at this stage by President A A Muir
ply, who made an appeal for no
demonstration that would carry with
it the nature of mob action.
Harold Fitch, editor of the Daily
Palo Alto. who, as the controller of
the official student body organ. has had
a large share in shaping undergraduate
opinion, was the next speaker called
upon. He declared that q moral OBJ
legation TO take immediate action rested
upon every student who had signed
the big petition supporting the PAT
paraders, and that unless such students
could suggest a better method of pro-
ceedure it devolved upon them to act
at once. He condemned the recent
proclamation of the faculty committee
and declared that ii had robbed the
students of any choice in the matter
except general walkout. In part
he said:
We must go out unless we make the
faculty meet us half way We are standing
for principle and ! for one don't want to
get up at o'clock in the morning and slink
to the quadrangle thinking. Of the Al meu
some of the best men this university has ever
known-and feeling that have stood by and
done nothing except watch them go
GRADUATE SPEAKS
Fitch was given hearty applause and
was succeeded by E. A. Cunha, a grad
uate OF the class of '07, who was stu
dent body president and yell leader
during his undergraduate career Cunha
deplored the fact that a grave misap-
prehension concerning the actual issues
of the controversy has been allowed TO
grow in the outside public mind. He
said:
Many outsiders believe that you are a pack
of drunkards and that student body here
at Stanford is degenerate and unclean. II
you can find a cleaner. decent group
Of men in any university in this country /
VIII be surprised The present issue is far
from the question Of liquor. II is question
Of right and wrong. II you decide to leave
college in order TO protest most strongly against
this action OF the faculty YOU want yorIr at.
ttude TO be well understood as you are making
this an issue for the good of the university
Cunha then referred to the attitude
Dr. Jordan had taken and criticised his
action most strongly. He said that
/ Professor Clark was probably as ln-
popular with the students as it was
possible for man to be and showed
the mistake of DR.. Jordan in putting
him in charge of the student affairs

tion as 1T presented itself in another

vor walkout, but who refuse to sign

The senior class, preceding the big
gathering this afternoon took an ac-
tion which is also without precedent.
The fourth year students, who are
within five weeks of receiving their
degrees after working nearly four
years, decided to abolish all COM
mencement exercises. Those functions,
which fall in what is known as sem
ior week. are dear to the hearts of the
graduating students, and this action,
approved and applauded by a large
gathering of the women of the class
as we'll as the men, is deeply signifi-
cant.
GIVE OVER FESTIVITIES
This gathering was dramatic in de-
tail as well as in the general spirit.
The action was first started by the s1g-
gestion of w. c. Theile '0S, the varsity
pitcher, that all senior festivities be
dispensed with. He suggested that the
money in the class treasury. amounting
to $500, be devoted to other ends than
originally intended. The class met on
the quadrangle and determined to lay
aside sufficient sum of money to pro-
vide for the installation of the class
plate in the quadrangle as has IA /
the custom since the first class grad
uated.
The plate, however is to be placed
at midnight, and no ceremony will at

The meeting was called by Student
Body President A. A. Murphy for 1:25
o'clock. and long before this hour the
baseball bleachers and the diamond
were thronged with students.
PLAN WIDE PUBLICITY
The first speaker TO address the big
gathering was r. w. Turner '0a. var
sity coxswain and former president of
the senior class. At the outset Turner
expressed the opinion that the news
papers in the east and in the north
should be fully notified of the exact
situation. To effect this, Turner
moved that a bureau of publicity be
established, to consist of Harold Fitch
'0S, of San Francisco present editor
of the Daily Falo Alto, together with
other college editors to be chosen. This
motion, which was the main object of
Turner'S speech, was passed with q
rousing vote

the meeting and the ideas to be brought

reputed TO be a clear headed student,
spoke frankly at the outset and told his
fellow classmates that he was not a
radical. but that the time for conserva-
tive action had passed. He scored the
faculty roundly for it's action and ex-
pressed himself as being disgusted abb
solutely by the stand taken by Pres
ident David Starr Jordan and the COM
mittee headed by Chairman Clark.
Fenton was one OF the strongest
speakers of the day. He said:

Several speakers of the evening ex-

sense of the meeting was for conser-

student body president at the univer-

In his statement to his friends in
the east which he intended should be
conveyed to the authorities here.
Robertson admitted that the bonds
placed with the bank for safe keeping
had been hypothecated. He was able
to enumerate the several transactions
which mystified the public at the time
of the crash and offered TO disclose
the inside facts IL given an oPpor-

Robertson confirmed all the charges
made during the investigation at the
time of the banks failure
The fugitive stated that these oper-
ations had been going on for a much
greater time than was generally sup
posed He said that the story he
could tell would be a thriller and in
fact seemed eager to return and take
the witness stand.
1t is not thought that Robertson will
bargain long before offering 10 return

bank cases is considered complete

east, Robertson showed a certain Bit
