/ BERKELEY. Marcn 23.-The man
WhP used his university education tc
gam riches by circamventing the law
and TO rob the poor by stock watering
was denounced by President William
herbert Perry Faunce' of Brown uni
Versity, who delivered the charter day
ADDRESS at the fortieth anniversary OF
the University of California this after
noon In the Greek rheater. He said
tnat the Darwnian theory of the sur
vival OF the fittest was a misread story
OF creation. In his theme on 'Individ-
ualsm and Social Progress" he said
the supreme problem before the re-
puolic was how to preserve the mag
nincent personal daring and private
/ ihitiatfve found in the country and yet
J achieve that corporate consciousness
and power of corporate action de-
ndnded by the titanic tasks now con-
fronting the people.
EDUCATED RASCAL A MENACE
In plea for the university graduate
70 cooperate with their fellows and
iead them, Presidens Faunce declared
that society must step in and protect
the people from the educated rascal
whose talents were spent to enrich
himself at the expense of others. He
said:

1ruer 70 enrich himself al the expense of Others
government, is a disgrace to his university and
an enemy of the people. To do under forms of

TRACES UNITED STATES IDEAL
President Faunce was then introduced
as the charter day speaker. He traced
the characteristics of the American
people from the beginning, when Anglo
Saxon temperament and Puritan prin-
ciple were blended, producing men of
strong initiative, daring enterprise and
spirit, which predomi-
mated their political theories, from
